Discovery BoxIsaiah 5:25 
Context5:25 So the Lord is furious 1 with his people;
he lifts 2 his hand and strikes them.
The mountains shake,
and corpses lie like manure 3 in the middle of the streets.
Despite all this, his anger does not subside,
and his hand is ready to strike again. 4

will fall into the pit; 5

will be trapped by the snare.
For the floodgates of the heavens 6 are opened up 7
and the foundations of the earth shake.
