This is what the Lord GOD showed me: The Lord GOD was calling for judgment by fire. It consumed the great deep and devoured the land.
Verse text unavailable
The mountains saw You and quaked;torrents of water swept by.The deep roared with its voiceand lifted its hands on high.
By His knowledge the watery depths were broken open,and the clouds dripped with dew.
They mounted up to the heavens, then sunk to the depths;their courage melted in their anguish.
