4
He rebukes the sea so that it dries up,
and He makes all the rivers run dry.(A)
Bashan and Carmel wither;(B)
even the flower of Lebanon withers.
5
The mountains quake before Him,
and the hills melt;
the earth trembles(a)(b) at His presence—
the world and all who live in it.(C)
6
Who can withstand His indignation?
Who can endure His burning anger?(D)
His wrath is poured out like fire,
even rocks are shattered before Him.
