| 4. And falling to the earth, (91) I saw likewise the earth absorbed by a great abyss; and mountains suspended over mountains. Hills were sinking upon hills, lofty trees were gliding off from their trunks, and were in the act of being projected, and of sinking into the abyss. (91) And falling to the earth. Or, "and when it fell upon the earth" (Knibb, p. 192). |
And as it fell on the earth I saw the earth that it was devoured in a great abyss, and mountains descended on mountains, and hills sank upon hills, and high trees were torn from the trunks, and fell down and sank into the abyss.

And when it fell to the earth I saw how the earth was swallowed up in a great abyss, and mountains were suspended on mountains, and hills sank down on hills, and high trees were rent from their stems, and hurled down and sunk in the abyss.

Och fallande till jorden såg jag likaledes jorden uppslukas af en stor afgrund, och berg uppstaplas på berg. Kullar nedsjönko på kullar; höga trän skredo från sina stammar och voro på vägen att bortkastas och nedsjunka i afgrunden.

Och i det ögonblicket såg jag hur jorden vardt uppslukad i ett stort svalg och hur berg på berg och kullar på kullar sjönko ned och höga träd sletos från sina stammar och nedstörtade och försvunno i djupet.
