Who Can Withstand the Lord’s Anger?

El Kanna. Yahweh takes revenge.
    Yahweh takes revenge and is full of anger.
    Yahweh takes revenge against his enemies
    and holds a grudge against his foes.
Yahweh is patient and has great strength.
    Yahweh will never let the guilty go unpunished.
    Raging winds and storms mark his path,
    and clouds are the dust from his feet.
He yells at the sea and makes it dry.
    He dries up all the rivers.
    Bashan and Carmel wither.
    The flowers of Lebanon wither.

    and clouds(H) are the dust of his feet.
He rebukes(I) the sea and dries it up;(J)
    he makes all the rivers run dry.
Bashan and Carmel(K) wither
    and the blossoms of Lebanon fade.
