Earthquakes » As judgments
Then the stream beds of the waters appeared,
And the foundations of the world were laid bare
At Your rebuke, O Lord,
At the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.
The earth is utterly broken, the earth is rent asunder, the earth is shaken violently. The earth shall stagger like a drunken man and shall sway to and fro like a hammock; its transgression shall lie heavily upon it, and it shall fall and not rise again.
The mountains quake before Him
And the hills melt away;
Indeed the earth is shaken by His presence—
Yes, the world and all that dwell in it.
You will be punished by the Lord of hosts with thunder and earthquake and great noise,
With whirlwind and tempest and the flame of a consuming fire.
You have made the land quake, You have split it open;
Heal its rifts, for it shakes and totters.
Therefore I will make the heavens tremble; and the earth shall be shaken out of its place at the wrath of the Lord of hosts in the day of His fierce anger. And like the chased roe or gazelle, and like sheep that no man gathers, each [foreign resident] will turn to his own people, and each will flee to his own land.
Earthquakes » Are visible tokens of » God's anger
You have made the land quake, You have split it open;

Then the earth shook and quaked,
The foundations of the mountains trembled;
They were shaken because He was indignant and angry.
Therefore I will make the heavens tremble;
And the earth will be shaken from its place
At the wrath of the Lord of hosts
In the day of His burning anger.

Lamentations » Of david
O God, You have rejected us and cast us off, broken down [our defenses], and scattered us; You have been angry -- "O restore us and turn Yourself to us again! You have made the land to quake and tremble, You have rent it [open]; repair its breaches, for it shakes and totters. You have made Your people suffer hard things; You have given us to drink wine that makes us reel and be dazed.
