9
Fire will go forth from his wrath, and who is there to quench it?
10
He will flash lightning, and who will not be afraid? He will thunder, and who will not be terrified?
11
The Lord will threaten, and who will not be utterly shattered at his presence?
12
The earth and its foundations quake, the sea is churned up from the depths, and its waves and the fish with them shall be troubled at the presence of the Lord and the glory of his power.
13
For his right hand that bends the bow is strong, and his arrows that he shoots are sharp and when they are shot to the ends of the world will not miss once.
14
Calamities are sent forth and shall not return until they come over the earth.
15
The fire is kindled, and shall not be put out until it consumes the foundations of the earth.
16
Just as an arrow shot by a mighty archer does not return, so the calamities that are sent upon the earth shall not return.
17
Alas for me! Alas for me! Who will deliver me in those days?
18
The beginning of sorrows, when there shall be much lamentation; the beginning of famine, when many shall perish; the beginning of wars, when the powers shall be terrified; the beginning of calamities, when all shall tremble. What shall they do, when the calamities come?
19
Famine and plague, tribulation and anguish are sent as scourges for the correction of humankind.
