5 The mountains shake in front of him,and the hills melt.The earth trembles when he comes;the world and all who live in it shake with fear.
6 No one can stay alive when he is angry;no one can survive his strong anger.His anger is poured out like fire;the rocks are smashed by him.
7 The Lord is good,giving protection in times of trouble.He knows who trusts in him.
8 But like a rushing flood,he will completely destroy Nineveh;he will chase his enemies until he kills them.
9 The Lord will completely destroyanyone making plans against him.Trouble will not come a second time.
10 Those people will be like tangled thornsor like people drunk from their wine;they will be burned up quickly like dry weeds.
11 Someone has come from Ninevehwho makes evil plans against the Lordand gives wicked advice.
