60:8 Who are these who float along 1 like a cloud,
who fly like doves to their shelters? 2
24:18 The one who runs away from the sound of the terror
will fall into the pit; 3
the one who climbs out of the pit,
will be trapped by the snare.
For the floodgates of the heavens 4 are opened up 5
and the foundations of the earth shake.
