3 Hashem is slow to anger, and great in ko'ach, and will not at all leave the guilty unpunished; Hashem hath His way in the whirlwind and in the tempest, and the anan (clouds) are the dust of His feet.
4 Hashem rebuketh the yam, and drieth it up, and maketh all the neharot (rivers) run dry; Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of the Levanon fadeth.
5 The mountains quake before Hashem, and the hills melt away, and ha'aretz heaveth at His presence, yea, tevel (the world), and all that dwell therein.
6 Who can stand before Hashem's fury? And who can endure His charon af (burning anger, see Ro 1:18)? His chemah (wrath) is poured out like eish (fire) and the tzurim (rocks) are rent in pieces before Him.
7 Hashem is tov, a maoz (stronghold) in the Yom Tzarah; and Hashem knoweth them that take refuge in Him.
8 But with an overwhelming flood He will make an utter end of her [Nineveh's] site, and Hashem shall pursue His enemies into choshech.
9 Whatever plot ye against Hashem, Hashem will make an utter end of anyone doing it; tzarah (affliction) will not arise a second time.
