37
And there shall be fear and great trembling upon the earth; and those who see that wrath shall be horror-stricken, and they shall be seized with trembling.
38
And, after that, heavy storm clouds shall be stirred up from the south, and from the north, and another part from the west.
39
And the winds from the east shall prevail over the cloud that was raised in wrath, and shall dispel it; and the tempest that was to cause destruction by the east wind shall be driven violently toward the south and west.
40
And great and mighty clouds, full of wrath and tempest, shall rise, to destroy all the earth and its inhabitants, and shall pour out upon every high and lofty place a terrible tempest,
41
fire and hail and flying swords and floods of water, that all the fields and all the streams may be filled with the abundance of those waters.
42
And they shall destroy cities and walls, mountains and hills, trees of the forests, and grass of the meadows, and their grain.
43
And they shall go on steadily to Babylon, and shall destroy her.
44
They shall come to her and surround her; they shall pour out the tempest and all its wrath upon her; then the dust and smoke shall go up to heaven, and all who are about her shall wail over her.
45
And those who survive shall serve those who have destroyed her.
46
And you, Asia, who share in the glamour of Babylon and the glory of her person --
47
woe to you, miserable wretch! For you have made yourself like her; you have decked out your daughters in harlotry to please and glory in your lovers, who have always lusted after you.
