The sickness went before him,
    and the destroyer followed behind him.[a]
He stood and judged the earth.
    He looked at the people of all the nations,
    and they shook with fear.

    but those mountains fell to pieces.
Those old, old hills fell down.

I saw that the cities of Cushan were in trouble
    and that the houses of Midian trembled with fear.
