30:31 Indeed, the Lord’s shout will shatter Assyria; 2
he will beat them with a club.
33:3 The nations run away when they hear a loud noise; 3
the nations scatter when you spring into action! 4

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.
