Let all the earth stand in awe of Him, and all its inhabitants revere his majesty and dread his indignation. “He measured the waters in the hollow of his hand; he meted out heaven with a span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance. Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold he taketh up the isles as a very little thing. All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.” Isa. xl. 12, 15, 17. “Behold the name of the Lord cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy; his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire.” Isa. xxx. 27. “If he whet his glittering sword, and his hand take hold on judgment, he will render vengeance to his enemies, and will reward them that hate him.” Deut. xxxii. 41. “Fear ye not ME? saith the Lord. Will ye not tremble at my presence?” Jer. v. 22. “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. 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.” Nah. i. 5, 6. “He frowns, and darkness veils the moon, The fainting sun grows dim at noon; The pillars of heav’n’s starry roof Tremble and start at his reproof!”
