5  The ^amountains melt like wax before the Lord,

before the ^bLord of all the earth.

5  The ^qmountains quaked before the Lord,

even Sinai before the Lord,¹ the God of Israel.

5  The Lord God of hosts,

he who touches the earth and it melts,

and ^kall who dwell in it mourn,

and all of it rises like the Nile,

and sinks again, like the Nile of Egypt;

13  “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord,

^w“when the plowman shall overtake the reaper

and the treader of grapes him who sows the seed;

^xthe mountains shall drip sweet wine,

and all the hills shall flow with it.

5  The mountains quake before him;

^hthe hills melt;

the earth heaves before him,

the world and all who dwell in it.
