No one will be able to stand against you, for the Lord your God will cause the people to fear and dread you, as he promised, wherever you go in the whole land.

The peoples hear and tremble; anguish grips those who live in Philistia.The leaders of Edom are terrified; the nobles of Moab tremble. All who live in Canaan melt away;terror and dread fall upon them. The power of your arm makes them lifeless as stone until your people pass by, O Lord, until the people you purchased pass by.

“ The Lord has given us the whole land,” they said,“ for all the people in the land are terrified of us.”

Then everyone— the kings of the earth, the rulers, the generals, the wealthy, the powerful, and every slave and free person— all hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains.And they cried to the mountains and the rocks,“ Fall on us and hide us from the face of the one who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb.For the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to survive?”

“ I know the Lord has given you this land,” she told them.“ We are all afraid of you. Everyone in the land is living in terror.For we have heard how the Lord made a dry path for you through the Red Sea when you left Egypt. And we know what you did to Sihon and Og, the two Amorite kings east of the Jordan River, whose people you completely destroyed.No wonder our hearts have melted in fear! No one has the courage to fight after hearing such things. For the Lord your God is the supreme God of the heavens above and the earth below.“ Now swear to me by the Lord that you will be kind to me and my family since I have helped you. Give me some guarantee thatwhen Jericho is conquered, you will let me live, along with my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all their families.”

The fears of the wicked will be fulfilled; the hopes of the godly will be granted.

Then all the nations of the world will see that you are a people claimed by the Lord, and they will stand in awe of you.

One day David said to Achish,“ If it is all right with you, we would rather live in one of the country towns instead of here in the royal city.”

Meanwhile, Joab was fighting against Rabbah, the capital of Ammon, and he captured the royal fortifications.

There is only the terrible expectation of God’s judgment and the raging fire that will consume his enemies.

The kings of the earth joined forces and advanced against the city.But when they saw it, they were stunned; they were terrified and ran away.They were gripped with terror and writhed in pain like a woman in labor.

So I will laugh when you are in trouble! I will mock you when disaster overtakes you—when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster engulfs you like a cyclone, and anguish and distress overwhelm you.

It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
