²³ Behold, the ^(A)whirlwind of the Lord
Goes forth with fury,
A ^[a]continuing whirlwind;
It will fall violently on the head of the wicked.

“Behold, disaster shall go forth
From nation to nation,
And ^(A)a great whirlwind shall be raised up
From the farthest parts of the earth.

¹⁴ Then the Lord will be seen over them,
And ^(A)His arrow will go forth like lightning.
The Lord God will blow the trumpet,
And go ^(B)with whirlwinds from the south.

^(C)The Lord has His way
In the whirlwind and in the storm,
And the clouds are the dust of His feet.
^4 (D)He rebukes the sea and makes it dry,
And dries up all the rivers.
^(E)Bashan and Carmel wither,
And the flower of Lebanon wilts.
⁵ The mountains quake before Him,
The hills melt,
And the earth ^[a]heaves at His presence,
Yes, the world and all who dwell in it.

⁶ Who can stand before His indignation?
And ^(F)who can endure the fierceness of His anger?
His fury is poured out like fire,
And the rocks are thrown down by Him.

¹¹ At that time it will be said
To this people and to Jerusalem,
^(A)“A dry wind of the desolate heights blows in the wilderness
Toward the daughter of My people—
Not to fan or to cleanse—

²⁴ Scarcely shall they be planted,
Scarcely shall they be sown,
Scarcely shall their stock take root in the earth,
When He will also blow on them,
And they will wither,
And the whirlwind will take them away like stubble.
