His way is in whirlwind and storm,
    and the clouds are the dust of his feet.^(C)
4 He rebukes the sea and makes it dry,
    and he dries up all the rivers;
Bashan and Carmel wither,
    and the bloom of Lebanon fades.
⁵ The mountains quake before him,
    and the hills melt;
the earth heaves before him,
    the world and all who live in it.^(D)

⁶ Who can stand before his indignation?
    Who can endure the heat of his anger?
His wrath is poured out like fire,
    and by him the rocks are broken in pieces.^(E)
7 The Lord is good,
    a stronghold in a day of trouble;
he protects those who take refuge in him,
⁸     even in a rushing flood.
He will make a full end of his adversaries^[a]
    and will pursue his enemies into darkness.^(F)
9 Why do you plot against the Lord?
    He will make an end;
    no adversary will rise up twice.^(G)
10 Like thorns they are entangled;
    like drunkards they are drunk;
    they are consumed like dry straw.^(H)
11 From you one has gone out
    who plots evil against the Lord,
    one who counsels wickedness.^(I)

¹⁴ The Lord has commanded concerning you:
    Your name shall be perpetuated no longer;
from the house of your gods I will cut off
    the carved image and the cast image.
I will prepare your grave, for you are worthless.^(L)

^15 [c]Look! On the mountains the feet of one
    who brings good tidings,
    who proclaims peace!
Celebrate your festivals, O Judah;
    fulfill your vows,
for never again shall the wicked invade you;
    they are utterly cut off.^(M)
