They might hide on top of Mount Carmel.
    But I will hunt them down
    and grab them.
They might hide from me at the bottom of the ocean.
    But even there I will command the serpent to bite them.
Their enemies might take them away
    as prisoners to another country.
But there I will command Israel’s enemies
    to cut them down with swords.
I will keep my eye on Israel to harm them.
    I will not help them.”

The Lord rules over all.
    The Lord touches the earth, and it melts.
    Everyone who lives in it mourns.
The whole land rises like the Nile River.
    Then it settles back down again
    like that river in Egypt.
