5
Calamities have been sent upon you, and who is there to drive them away?
6
Can one drive off a hungry lion in the forest, or quench a fire in the stubble once it has started to burn?
7
Can one turn back an arrow shot by a strong archer?
8
The Lord God sends calamities, and who will drive them away?
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.
