The whole earth rests and is quiet; they break into song.

The earth will be completely devastated and thoroughly ransacked. For the Lord has decreed this judgment. ¹ 

Terror, pit, and snare are ready to overtake you inhabitants of the earth! ¹ 

The coastlands ¹  see and are afraid; the whole earth ²  trembles; they approach and come.

ל (Lamed) To crush underfoot all the earth’s prisoners, ¹ 

The earth will become desolate ¹  because of what its inhabitants have done. ² 

But the Lord is in his majestic palace. ¹  The whole earth is speechless in his presence!” ² 

You furiously stomp on the earth, you angrily trample down the nations.

“I will destroy ¹  everything from the face of the earth,” says the Lord.

This is why the sky ¹  has held back its dew and the earth its produce. ² 

Tell Zerubbabel governor of Judah: ‘I am ready ¹  to shake the sky ²  and the earth.

So God said ¹  to Noah, “I have decided that all living creatures must die, ²  for the earth is filled with violence because of them. Now I am about to destroy ³  them and the earth.

I am about to bring ¹  floodwaters ²  on the earth to destroy ³  from under the sky all the living creatures that have the breath of life in them. ⁴  Everything that is on the earth will die,

and with every living creature that is with you, including the birds, the domestic animals, and every living creature of the earth with you, all those that came out of the ark with you – every living creature of the earth. ¹ 

And I will make your descendants like the dust of the earth, so that if anyone is able to count the dust of the earth, then your descendants also can be counted. ¹ 

Hezekiah prayed before the Lord: “Lord God of Israel, who is enthroned on the cherubs! ¹  You alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You made the sky ²  and the earth.

You visit the earth and give it rain; ¹  you make it rich and fertile ²  with overflowing streams full of water. ³  You provide grain for them, ⁴  for you prepare the earth to yield its crops. ⁵ 

Enjoy ¹  life with your beloved wife ²  during all the days of your fleeting ³  life that God ⁴  has given you on earth ⁵  during all your fleeting days; ⁶  for that is your reward in life and in your burdensome work ⁷  on earth. ⁸ 

He will treat the poor fairly, ¹  and make right decisions ²  for the downtrodden of the earth. ³  He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, ⁴  and order the wicked to be executed. ⁵ 

So a treaty curse ¹  devours the earth; its inhabitants pay for their guilt. ²  This is why the inhabitants of the earth disappear, ³  and are reduced to just a handful of people. ⁴
