12
The foundations of the earth tremble. There is violent churning in the deepest part of the sea. Even the creatures in the sea are in turmoil when the Lord makes his glorious power felt.
13
He is like a mighty archer whose strong right arm bends the bow. His arrows are sharp and never miss their mark once they are shot out toward any part of the earth.
14
He has already sent out his disasters toward the earth, and they will not miss their target.
15
The fire has been lit, and it cannot be put out until it burns up the foundations of the earth.
16
The disasters are on their way toward the earth, and like an arrow shot by a strong archer, they cannot be turned back.
