Nahum 1:5-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
5 The mountains quake before him,
and the hills dissolve;
The earth is laid waste before him,
the world and all who dwell in it.
6 [a]Before his wrath, who can stand firm,
and who can face his blazing anger?(A)
His fury is poured out like fire,
and boulders break apart before him.
7 The Lord is good to those who wait for him,
a refuge on the day of distress,
Taking care of those who look to him for protection,
