Indignation
But the Lord is the true God;
he is the living God and the everlasting King.
At his wrath the earth quakes,
and the nations cannot endure his indignation.
Jeremiah 10:10
The context of this verse is a man who chops down a tree and decorates it with silver and gold, presumably in honour of the god of materialism for the winter solstice festival. Probably in the context it was actually in honour of Asherah, the goddess of sex. People worship all sorts of false gods, but the Lord is the true God.
He isn't made by human hands, he forms human hands in the womb and causes them to grow through childhood. He is the creator of the heavens and the earth, not the creation of some enterprising idol merchant. Our 21st century idolatry might be more seasonal than 6th century BC- focused around Christmas and Easter and Halloween, but it's no less offensive to the one true God.
Earthquakes aren't something that has God wringing his hands in helplessness. They are expressions of his wrath at our sinful and rebellious world. God is sovereign over all things, including natural disasters. He can cause good to come out of bad circumstances like they are, whether judgement or causing people to cry out to him.
Perhaps an even worse judgement than natural disasters is when God leaves nations to their own devises: tearing themselves apart in war. But when the nations reject God, how can they expect him to help them out when they destroy themselves in violence?
"Lord, you are the true God. Forgive us our rebellion and idolatry, and in your wrath please remember mercy. Help us to worship you alone, for your glory, amen"
