Context — The Burden against Nineveh
5The mountains quake before Him, and the hills melt away; the earth trembles at His presence— the world and all its dwellers.
6Who can withstand His indignation? Who can endure His burning anger? His wrath is poured out like fire; even rocks are shattered before Him.
7The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of distress; He cares for those who trust in Him.
8But with an overwhelming flood He will make an end of Nineveh and pursue His enemies into darkness. 9Whatever you plot against the LORD, He will bring to an end. Affliction will not rise up a second time.Cross References
