For this reason the ^(C1)anger of the LORD has burned against His people, And He has stretched out His hand against them and struck them. And the ^(C2)mountains quaked, and their ^(C3)corpses ^(F1)lay like refuse in the middle of the streets. ^(C4)Despite all this, His anger ^(F2)is not spent, But His ^(C5)hand is still stretched out.

He will also lift up a ^(C1)flag to the distant ^(F1)nation, And ^(C2)whistle for it ^(C3)from the ends of the earth; And behold, it will ^(C4)come with speed swiftly.

^(C1)No one in it is tired or stumbles, No one slumbers or sleeps; Nor is the ^(C2)undergarment at his waist loosened, Nor his sandal strap broken.

^(F1)(C1)Its arrows are sharp and all its bows are bent; The hoofs of its horses ^(F2)seem like flint, and its chariot ^(C2)wheels like a storm wind.

Its ^(C1)roaring is like a lioness, and it roars like young lions; It growls as it ^(C2)seizes the prey And carries it off with ^(C3)no one to save it.

And it will ^(C1)roar against it on that day like the roaring of the sea. If one ^(C2)looks across to the land, behold, there is darkness and distress; Even the light is darkened by its clouds.
