17 Terror and the pit and the snareare upon you, O inhabitant of the earth!
18 He who flees at the sound of the terrorshall fall into the pit,and he who climbs out of the pitshall be caught in the snare.For the windows of heaven are opened,and the foundations of the earth tremble.
19 The earth is utterly broken,the earth is split apart,the earth is violently shaken.
20 The earth staggers like a drunken man;it sways like a hut; its transgression lies heavy upon it,and it falls, and will not rise again.
21 On that day the Lord will punishthe host of heaven, in heaven,and the kings of the earth, on the earth.
22 They will be gathered togetheras prisoners in a pit;they will be shut up in a prison,and after many days they will be punished.
23 Then the moon will be confoundedand the sun ashamed,for the Lord of hosts reignson Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,and his glory will be before his elders.
