and continues to rage against his enemies!
filled with vengeance and rage.
He takes revenge on all who oppose him

In his presence the mountains quake,
and the hills melt away;
the earth trembles,
and its people are destroyed.

Who can survive his burning fury?
His rage blazes forth like fire,
and the mountains crumble to dust in his presence.

and the mountains crumble to dust in his presence.
Who shall stand before his indignation? and who shall abide in the fierceness of his anger? His fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken asunder by him.
The LORD is good,
a strong refuge when trouble comes.
He is close to those who trust in him.

who plots evil against the LORD?

and tear off the chains of Assyrian oppression.”

I am preparing a grave for you
because you are despicable!”
“You will have no more children to carry on your name.
I will destroy all the idols in the temples of your gods.

Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth glad tidings, that publisheth peace! Celebrate thy feasts, Judah, perform thy vows: for the wicked one shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.
