All of Mount Sinai was covered with smoke, because the LORD had come down on it in fire. The smoke went up like the smoke of a furnace, and all the people trembled violently.

You mountains, why did you skip like goats? You hills, why did you jump around like lambs?

Tremble, earth, at the Lord's coming, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

When the mountains saw you, they trembled; water poured down from the skies. The waters under the earth roared, and their waves rose high.

The words "once more" plainly show that the created things will be shaken and removed, so that the things that cannot be shaken will remain.

People will hide in caves in the rocky hills or dig holes in the ground to try to escape from the LORD's anger and to hide from his power and glory, when he comes to shake the earth.

I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be shaken out of its place on that day when I, the LORD Almighty, show my anger.

The LORD roars from Mount Zion; his voice thunders from Jerusalem; earth and sky tremble. But he will defend his people.

"Before long I will shake heaven and earth, land and sea.

I will overthrow all the nations, and their treasures will be brought here, and the Temple will be filled with wealth.

and overthrow kingdoms and end their power. I will overturn chariots and their drivers; the horses will die, and their riders will kill one another.
