The foundations of the earth shall be shaken

[wolfinthewood]

Concutientur fundamenta terrae.
Confractione confringetur terra,
Contritione conteretur terra,
Commotione commovebitur terra;
Agitatione agitabitur terra sicut ebrius,
Et auferetur quasi tabernaculum unius noctis.

*

The foundations of the earth shall be shaken.
The earth shall be shattered with breaking apart,
the earth shall be pulverized with grinding,
the earth shall be stirred into movement;
the earth shall be impelled into motion, and move like a drunken man,
and it shall be taken away like a tent that goes up just for one night.

Isaiah 24:18–20 (Vulgate)
