ESVEnglish Standard Version

He rebukes the sea and makes it dry;

he dries up all the rivers;

Bashan and Carmel wither;

the bloom of Lebanon withers.

The mountains quake before him;

the hills melt;

the earth heaves before him,

the world and all who dwell in it.

Who can stand before his indignation?

Who can endure the heat of his anger?

His wrath is poured out like fire,

and the rocks are broken into pieces by him.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

He rebukes the sea and dries it up;

he makes all the rivers run dry.

Bashan and Carmel wither

and the blossoms of Lebanon fade.

The mountains quake before him

and the hills melt away.

The earth trembles at his presence,

the world and all who live in it.

Who can withstand his indignation?

Who can endure his fierce anger?

His wrath is poured out like fire;

the rocks are shattered before him.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

He rebukes the sea and dries it up,

and he makes all the rivers run dry.

Bashan and Carmel wither;

even the flower of Lebanon withers.

The mountains quake before him,

and the hills melt;

the earth trembles at his presence—

the world and all who live in it.

Who can withstand his indignation?

Who can endure his burning anger?

His wrath is poured out like fire;

even rocks are shattered before him.

NLTNew Living Translation

At his command the oceans dry up,

and the rivers disappear.

The lush pastures of Bashan and Carmel fade,

and the green forests of Lebanon wither.

In his presence the mountains quake,

and the hills melt away;

the earth trembles,

and its people are destroyed.

Who can stand before his fierce anger?

Who can survive his burning fury?

His rage blazes forth like fire,

and the mountains crumble to dust in his presence.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

He rebukes the sea and he dries up the rivers;

he makes all the rivers run dry.

Bashan and Carmel wither;

the blossom of Lebanon languishes.

Mountains quake before him;

the hills shake apart.

The earth heaves before him—

the world and all her inhabitants.

His indignation—who can stand before it?

Who can endure his fierce anger?

His wrath is poured out like fire;

rocks are shattered before him.

KJV 1900King James Version

He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry,

And drieth up all the rivers:

Bashan languisheth, and Carmel,

And the flower of Lebanon languisheth.

The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt,

And the earth is burned at his presence,

Yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.

Who can stand before his indignation?

And who can abide in the fierceness of his anger?

His fury is poured out like fire,

And the rocks are thrown down by him.
