And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep place.

daß die Berge unter ihm schmelzen und die Täler reißend werden, gleichwie Wachs vor dem Feuer zerschmilzt, wie die Wasser, so niederwärts fließen.
Y debajo de él se derretirán los montes, y los valles se hendirán como la cera delante del fuego, como las aguas que corren por un precipicio.
Los montes se derretirán debajo de él y los valles se abrirán, como la cera ante el fuego, como aguas derramadas por una pendiente.
Sous lui les montagnes se fondent, Les vallées s'entr'ouvrent, Comme la cire devant le feu, Comme l'eau qui coule sur une pente.
E i monti si struggeranno sotto lui, e le valli si schianteranno; come la cera si strugge al fuoco, come le acque si spandono per una pendice.
E os montes debaixo dele se derreterão, e os vales se fenderão, como a cera diante do fogo, como as águas que se precipitam num abismo.
眾山在他底下熔化, 諸谷崩裂, 如蠟熔在火中, 如水沖下山坡。
