Behold, the LORD lays the earth waste, devastates it, distorts its surface and scatters its inhabitants.I'm not sure when this is supposed to happen. There isn't any context in the chapter or surrounding text to say whether this has already occurred, or is speaking of things still to come.
If it's past, then whatever calamities God brought obviously weren't permanent or irreversible. They may have been horrible for anyone in the region affected, but not global and permanent. If, however, they are still to come, then all the disasters we've ever known won't even compare. Unfortunately, I can't tell which is the case from this chapter.
