2 Therefore will we not fear though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the heart of the seas;

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change, though the mountains should be shaken into the heart of the seas,

3 Though the waters thereof roar [and] foam, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. (Selah)

though its waters roar and rage, and though the mountains tremble with their swelling. (Selah)

8 Come, behold the works of Jehovah, what desolations he hath made in the earth:

He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth; he breaks the bow and cuts the spear into pieces; he burns up the shields.
