Isaiah 64:1
Hebrew Bible
1 If only you would tear apart the sky and come down! The mountains would tremble before you! 2 As when fire ignites dry wood or fire makes water boil, let your adversaries know who you are, and may the nations shake at your presence! 3 When you performed awesome deeds that took us by surprise, you came down, and the mountains trembled before you.

Septuagint
1 If you should open heaven, trembling from you would seize the mountains, and they would melt 2 as wax melts from the fire. And fire shall burn up your adversaries, and the name of the Lord shall be manifest among your adversaries; nations shall be confused at your presence! 3 When you do your glorious deeds, trembling from you will seize the mountains.
