Job 9:5 Who hath removed mountains, and they whom he overthrew in his wrath, knew it not.

Removed, by earthquakes. (Pliny, [Natural History?] 2:83.) (Calmet) --- In Calabria, 5th February, etc., 1783, during the most destructive and dreadful earthquake, a level valley was removed entire about a mile, and a hill, with the trees still growing, was projected down a declivity half a mile, and another above four miles. (Sir W. Hamilton) --- Septuagint, "who makes the mountains grown old, and they know not who overturns them in his wrath." (Haydock) --- Kings and empires fall to ruin at his command. (Calmet)
