14:16 Those who see you stare at you,
they look at you carefully, thinking: 1
“Is this the man who shook the earth,
the one who made kingdoms tremble?
13:13 So I will shake the heavens, 2
and the earth will shake loose from its foundation, 3
because of the fury of the Lord who commands armies,
in the day he vents his raging anger. 4
24:18 The one who runs away from the sound of the terror
will fall into the pit; 5
the one who climbs out of the pit,
will be trapped by the snare.
For the floodgates of the heavens 6 are opened up 7
and the foundations of the earth shake.
