My people, go into your houses. Shut the doors behind you. Hide yourselves for a little while. Do it until the Lord’ s anger is over.He is coming from the place where he lives. He will punish the people of the earth for their sins. The blood spilled on the earth will be brought out into the open. The ground will no longer hide those who have been killed.

The Lord is slow to get angry. But he is very powerful. The Lord will not let guilty people go without punishing them. When he marches out, he stirs up winds and storms. Clouds are the dust kicked up by his feet.He controls the seas. He dries them up. He makes all the rivers run dry. Bashan and Mount Carmel dry up. The flowers in Lebanon fade.He causes the mountains to shake. The hills melt away. The earth trembles because he is there. The world and all those who live in it also tremble.Who can stand firm when his anger burns? Who can live when he is angry? His anger blazes out like fire. He smashes the rocks to pieces.The Lord is good. When people are in trouble, they can go to him for safety. He takes good care of those who trust in him.

What is evil burns like a fire. It burns up bushes and thorns. It sets the forest on fire. It sends up a huge column of smoke.
