Your thunderous voice was heard in the wind; the lightning bolts lit up the world; the earth trembled and shook.

Under three things the earth trembles, and under four things it cannot bear up:

Tremble, you complacent ones! Shake with fear, you carefree ones! Strip off your clothes and expose yourselves – put sackcloth on your waist!

The earth quakes before them; the sky reverberates. The sun and the moon grow dark; the stars refuse to shine.

Sheol below is stirred up about you, ready to meet you when you arrive. It rouses the spirits of the dead for you, all the former leaders of the earth; it makes all the former kings of the nations rise from their thrones.
