14 Those who survive will sing for joy. Those in the west will tell how great the Lord is,
15 and those in the east will praise him. The people who live along the sea will praise the Lord, the God of Israel.
16 From the most distant parts of the world we will hear songs in praise of Israel, the righteous nation.But there is no hope for me! I am wasting away! Traitors continue to betray, and their treachery grows worse and worse.
17 Listen to me, everyone! There are terrors, pits, and traps waiting for you.
18 Anyone who tries to escape from the terror will fall into a pit, and anyone who escapes from the pit will be caught in a trap. Torrents of rain will pour from the sky, and earth's foundations will shake.
19 The earth will crack and shatter and split open.
20 The earth itself will stagger like a drunken man and sway like a hut in a storm. The world is weighed down by its sins; it will collapse and never rise again.
