15 Therefore in the east give glory to the Lord;exalt the name of the Lord, the God of Israel,in the islands of the sea.
16 From the ends of the earth we hear singing:‘Glory to the Righteous One.’But I said, ‘I waste away, I waste away!Woe to me!The treacherous betray!With treachery the treacherous betray!’
17 Terror and pit and snare await you,people of the earth.
18 Whoever flees at the sound of terrorwill fall into a pit;whoever climbs out of the pitwill be caught in a snare.The floodgates of the heavens are opened,the foundations of the earth shake.
19 The earth is broken up,the earth is split asunder,the earth is violently shaken.
20 The earth reels like a drunkard,it sways like a hut in the wind;so heavy upon it is the guilt of its rebellionthat it falls – never to rise again.
21 In that day the Lord will punishthe powers in the heavens aboveand the kings on the earth below.
