12. The foundations of the earth tremble. There is violent churning in the deepest part of the sea. Even the creatures in the sea are in turmoil when the Lord makes his glorious power felt.
13. He is like a mighty archer whose strong right arm bends the bow. His arrows are sharp and never miss their mark once they are shot out towards any part of the earth.
14. He has already sent out his disasters towards the earth, and they will not miss their target.
15. The fire has been lit, and it cannot be put out until it burns up the foundations of the earth.
16. The disasters are on their way towards the earth, and like an arrow shot by a strong archer, they cannot be turned back.
17. I am doomed! I am doomed! Who will rescue me in those days?
18. Troubles will come, and many people will groan. Famine will come, and many will die. Wars will come, and the world powers will tremble. Disasters will come, and everyone will be terrified. What will people do when these disasters come?
19. Famine, epidemics, troubles, and suffering are sent to punish and correct people.
