The Fierce Anger of the Lord

The Lord God demands loyalty.
In his anger, he takes revenge
    on his enemies.
The Lord is powerful,
    yet patient;
he makes sure that the guilty
    are always punished.
He can be seen in storms
    and in whirlwinds;
clouds are the dust from his feet.

At the Lord's command,
    oceans and rivers dry up.
Bashan, Mount Carmel,
and Lebanon[a] wither,
    and their flowers fade.
