16 From the ends of the earth we hear songs:The Splendor of the Righteous One. But I said, “I waste away! I waste away! Woe is me.”The treacherous act treacherously;the treacherous deal very treacherously.
17 Panic, pit, and trap await you who dwell on the earth.
18 Whoever flees at the sound of panicwill fall into a pit,and whoever escapes from the pitwill be caught in a trap.For the windows are opened from heaven, and the foundations of the earth are shaken.
19 The earth is completely devastated;the earth is split open;the earth is violently shaken.
20 The earth staggers like a drunkard and sways like a hut.Earth’s rebellion weighs it down,and it falls, never to rise again.
21 On that day the Lord will punishthe host of heaven aboveand kings of the earth below.
22 They will be gathered togetherlike prisoners in a pit. They will be confined to a dungeon; after many days they will be punished.
