10. The city of vanity has been worn away. Every house has been closed up; no one enters.
11. There will be a clamor for wine in the streets. All rejoicing has been abandoned. The gladness of the earth has been carried away.
12. Solitude is what remains in the city, and calamity will overwhelm its gates.
13. For so shall it be in the midst of the earth, in the midst of the people: it is as if the few remaining olives are being shaken from the olive tree, and it is like a few clusters of grapes, when the grape harvest has already ended.
14. These few shall lift up their voice and give praise. When the Lord will have been glorified, they will make a joyful noise from the sea.
15. Because of this, glorify the Lord in doctrine: the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea.
16. From the ends of the earth, we have heard the praises of the glory of the Just One. And I said: "My secret is for myself! My secret is for myself! Woe to me! Those who would betray us have betrayed us, and they have betrayed us with the betrayal of transgression."
17. Dread, and the pit, and the snare are over you, O inhabitant of the earth!
18. And this shall be: whoever will flee from the voice of dread will fall into the pit. And whoever will extricate himself from the pit will be caught in the snare. For the floodgates from above have been opened, and the foundations of the earth will be shaken.
19. The earth will be utterly broken! The earth will be utterly crushed! The earth will be utterly shaken!
20. The earth will stagger greatly, like a drunken man, and will be carried away, like the tent of a single night. And its iniquity will be heavy upon it, and it will fall and not rise up again.
21. And this shall be: in that day, the Lord will visit upon the armies of the sky above, and upon the kings of the earth who are on the ground.
22. And they will be gathered together like the gathering of one bundle into a pit. And they will be enclosed in that place, as in a prison. And after many days, they will be visited.
23. And the moon will be ashamed, and the sun will be confounded, when the Lord of hosts will reign on mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and when he will have been glorified in the sight of his elders.
