Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.

Verse 6 is found in chapter 1 of Nahum. The description of trembling mountains, drying seas, and shaking earth presents God as sovereign over all creation. The cosmic language places the judgment against Nineveh within a reality much greater than a conflict between empires.

Wer kann vor seinem Zorn stehen, und wer kann seinen Grimm bleiben? Sein Zorn brennt wie Feuer, und die Felsen zerspringen vor ihm.
¿Quién permanecerá delante de su ira? ¿y quién quedará en pie en el furor de su enojo? Su ira se derrama como fuego, y por él se hienden las peñas.
¿Quién puede mantenerse ante su indignación? ¿Quién puede resistir el ardor de su ira? Su furor se derrama como fuego y las rocas se hacen pedazos ante él.
Qui résistera devant sa fureur? Qui tiendra contre son ardente colère? Sa fureur se répand comme le feu, Et les rochers se brisent devant lui.
Chi durerà davanti alla sua indegnazione? e chi starà fermo nell’ardor della sua ira? il suo cruccio si spande come fuoco, ed egli fa scoscendere le rocce.
Quem parará diante do seu furor, e quem persistirá diante do ardor da sua ira? A sua cólera se derramou como um fogo, e as rochas foram por ele derrubadas.
他發憤恨,誰能立得住呢? 他發烈怒,誰能當得起呢? 他的憤怒如火傾洩而出, 磐石因他崩裂。
