16. From the ends of the earth we hear songs of praise,of glory to the Righteous One.But I say, “I waste away,I waste away. Woe is me!For the traitors have betrayed,with betrayal the traitors have betrayed.”
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.
