WMBB (Same as above)

MSG(2-6)God is serious business.
  He won’t be trifled with.
He avenges his foes.
  He stands up against his enemies, fierce and raging.
But God doesn’t lose his temper.
  He’s powerful, but it’s a patient power.
Still, no one gets by with anything.
  Sooner or later, everyone pays.
Tornadoes and hurricanes
  are the wake of his passage,
Storm clouds are the dust
  he shakes off his feet.
He yells at the sea: It dries up.
  All the rivers run dry.
The Bashan and Carmel mountains shrivel,
  the Lebanon orchards shrivel.
Mountains quake in their roots,
  hills dissolve into mud flats.
Earth shakes in fear of God.
  The whole world’s in a panic.
Who can face such towering anger?
  Who can stand up to this fierce rage?
His anger spills out like a river of lava,
  his fury shatters boulders.

NETNo one can withstand his indignation!
 ⇔ No one can resist his fierce anger!
 ⇔ His wrath is poured out like volcanic fire,
 ⇔ boulders are broken up as he approaches.
