when terror strikes you like a storm
and your calamity comes like a whirlwind,
when trouble and stress overcome you.

Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns—
whether green or burning—
He will sweep them away.

Let their table set before them be a snare,
and let it be a trap for their allies.

Don’t fear sudden danger
or the ruin of the wicked when it comes,

What the wicked dreads will come to him,
but what the righteous desire will be given to them.

The nations rage like the raging of many waters.
He rebukes them, and they flee far away,
driven before the wind like chaff on the hills
and like tumbleweeds before a gale.

The Lord is slow to anger but great in power;
the Lord will never leave the guilty unpunished.
His path is in the whirlwind and storm,
and clouds are the dust beneath His feet.

Woe to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days, for there will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people.

“Be on your guard, so that your minds are not dulled from carousing, drunkenness, and worries of life, or that day will come on you unexpectedly

affliction and distress for every human being who does evil, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek;

When they say, “Peace and security,” then sudden destruction comes on them, like labor pains come on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

Then the kings of the earth, the nobles, the military commanders, the rich, the powerful, and every slave and free person hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains.
