⁵ The mountains melt like wax before the Lord,
    before the Lord of all the earth.^(A)

⁵ The mountains quake before him,
    and the hills melt;
the earth heaves before him,
    the world and all who live in it.^(A)

³ For the Lord is coming out of his place
    and will come down and tread upon the high places of the earth.^(A)
4 Then the mountains will melt under him,
    and the valleys will burst open
like wax near the fire,
    like waters poured down a slope.^(B)

¹⁹ The earth is utterly broken;
    the earth is torn apart;
    the earth is violently shaken.^(A)
20 The earth staggers like a drunkard;
    it sways like a hut;
its transgression lies heavy upon it,
    and it falls and will not rise again.^(B)

² For the Lord, the Most High, is awesome,
    a great king over all the earth.^(A)
