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.
22. They will be herded togetherlike prisoners bound in a dungeon;they will be shut up in prisonand be punished after many days.
23. The moon will be dismayed,the sun ashamed;for the Lord Almighty will reignon Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,and before its elders – with great glory.
