16. From the end of the earth we hear songs:“Splendor to the Just One!”But I said, “I am wasted, wasted away.Woe is me! The traitors betray;with treachery have the traitors betrayed!
17. Terror, pit, and trapfor you, inhabitant of the earth!
18. One who flees at the sound of terrorwill fall into the pit;One who climbs out of the pitwill be caught in the trap.For the windows on high are openand the foundations of the earth shake.
19. The earth will burst asunder,the earth will be shaken apart,the earth will be convulsed.
20. The earth will reel like a drunkard,sway like a hut;Its rebellion will weigh it down;it will fall, never to rise again.”
21. On that day the Lord will punishthe host of the heavens in the heavens,and the kings of the earth on the earth.
22. They will be gathered togetherlike prisoners into a pit;They will be shut up in a dungeon,and after many days they will be punished.
23. Then the moon will blushand the sun be ashamed,For the Lord of hosts will reignon Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,glorious in the sight of the elders.
