Contemporary English Version

6 Who can stand the heat
    of his furious anger?
It flashes out like fire
    and shatters stones.

The Power of Assyria Will Be Broken

7 The Lord is good.
He protects those who trust him
    in times of trouble.
8 But like a roaring flood,
the Lord chases his enemies
    into dark places
    and destroys them.[a]
