28:17 I will make justice the measuring line,
fairness the plumb line;
hail will sweep away the unreliable refuge, 1
the floodwaters will overwhelm the hiding place.
28:2 Look, the sovereign master 2 sends a strong, powerful one. 3
With the force of a hailstorm or a destructive windstorm, 4
with the might of a driving, torrential rainstorm, 5
he will knock that crown 6 to the ground with his hand. 7
30:30 The Lord will give a mighty shout 8
and intervene in power, 9
with furious anger and flaming, destructive fire, 10
with a driving rainstorm and hailstones.
