    and the valleys split open,
Like wax before the fire,
    like water poured down a slope.

  1. 1:3 The Lord comes in a theophany which has devastating effects on the natural world (1:4).

For, behold, the Lord cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.
