4 He shouts a battle cry against the seaand makes it dry up;he makes all the rivers run dry.Bashan and Carmel wither;the blossom of Lebanon withers.
5 The mountains tremble before him,the hills convulse;the earth is laid waste before him,the world and all its inhabitants are laid waste.
6 No one can withstand his indignation!No one can resist his fierce anger!His wrath is poured out like volcanic fire,boulders are broken up as he approaches.
7 The Lord is good – indeed, he is a fortress in time of distress,and he protects those who seek refuge in him.
8 But with an overwhelming floodhe will make a complete end of Nineveh;he will drive his enemies into darkness.
9 Whatever you plot against the Lord, he will completely destroy! Distress will not arise a second time.
10 Surely they will be totally consumedlike entangled thorn bushes,like the drink of drunkards,like very dry stubble.
