I am dust and ashes.[fn][fn]

He sends his word and melts them;

he unleashes his winds,[fn] and the water flows.

and the sun disgraced,

because the LORD of Armies will reign as king

on Mount Zion in Jerusalem,

so that nations would tremble at your presence!

and the valleys will split apart,

even rocks are shattered before him.

The age-old mountains break apart;

the ancient hills sink down.

His pathways are ancient.
