Why do the nations rage, and the peoples devise a vain thing?

Let us break and tear away their bonds, and cast away their cords from us.

For lo, Your enemies roar; and those who hate You have lifted up their head.

They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.

The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab and the Hagrites;

Assyria also has joined with them; they have helped the sons of Lot. Selah

Then Zerah the Ethiopian came out against them with an army of a million men and three hundred chariots, and he came to Mareshah.

And Asa cried out unto Jehovah his God, and said, Jehovah, it is nothing for You to help, whether with many or with those who have no strength; help us, O Jehovah our God, for we have trusted on You, and in Your name we go against this multitude. O Jehovah, You are our God; do not let man prevail against You.

And Asa and the people who were with him pursued them to Gerar. So the Ethiopians fell, and they could not recover, for they were broken before Jehovah and His army. And they carried away very much spoils.

And it happened after this that the sons of Moab and the sons of Ammon, along with others besides the Ammonites, came to battle against Jehoshaphat.

So they rose early in the morning and went out into the wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Listen to me, O Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem: Trust in Jehovah your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper.

And when they began to cry out in songs of praise, Jehovah set ambushes against the sons of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were smitten.

So when Judah had come to the lookout point at the wilderness, they looked toward the multitude; and behold, the corpses, fallen to the earth. No one had escaped.

Suffer evil, O people, and be broken! Give ear, all you from distant lands. Gird yourselves and be broken. Gird yourselves and be broken!

Take counsel and make plans, but they will be frustrated. Speak a word, but it shall not stand; for the Mighty God is with us.

Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel, Because you have prayed to Me against Sennacherib king of Assyria,

Whom have you mocked and blasphemed? And against whom have you raised your voice and lifted up your eyes on high? Even against the Holy One of Israel.

I have dug and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet I have dried up all the rivers of the besieged places.

And their inhabitants had little power; being dismayed and ashamed. They were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and the standing grain before the field.

Because your raging against Me, and your arrogance has come up into My ears, therefore I will put My hook in your nose, and My bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way from which you came.

And the remnant that escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward and bear fruit upward;

Therefore thus says Jehovah to the king of Assyria: He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a mound against it.

For I will defend this city to save it, for My own sake and for My servant David's sake.

How you are fallen from the heavens, O shining one, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations!

I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High.

Those who see you shall stare at you and consider diligently, saying, Is this the man who made the earth to tremble; who shook kingdoms;

The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God; Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Jehovah, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

and said to the men: I know that Jehovah has given you the land, that the terror of you has fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land have melted before you.

And as soon as we heard these things, our hearts melted; neither did there remain any more courage in anyone because of you, for Jehovah your God, He is God in the heavens above and on earth beneath.

And they said to Joshua, Truly Jehovah has delivered all the land into our hands, for indeed all the inhabitants of the land have melted before us.

Oh that You would rend the heavens and come down! That the mountains would quake at Your presence,

as the brushwood fire burns, as the fire causes water to boil; to make Your name known to Your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at Your presence!

And the Lord Jehovah of Hosts is He who touches the earth so that it melts, and all who dwell in it shall mourn. And all of it will rise up like the River, and sink down like the River of Egypt.

Behold, the days are coming, declares Jehovah, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him who drags along seed. And the mountains shall drip sweet wine, and all the hills will flow with it.

The mountains quake before Him, and the hills melt; and the earth is lifted up before Him, even the world and all who dwell in it.

A pestilence goes before Him, and lightning goes forth at His feet.

He stood and measured the earth; He looked and shook nations; and the ancient mountains were scattered; the perpetual hills bowed down. His ways are eternal.

The mountains saw You and writhed. The floods of water passed by. The deep uttered its voice and lifted up its hands on high.

The sun and moon stood still in their dwelling. At the light of Your arrows they went, at the shining of Your glittering spear.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be dissolved with intense burning; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.

looking for and earnestly hastening unto the coming of the Day of God, through which the heavens will be dissolved, being set on fire, and the elements will melt with intense burning?

And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its untimely figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind.

And the heavens separated as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

And I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heavens fled away. And there was found no place for them.
