15. ‘Therefore glorify Adonai in the east, the Name of Adonai, the God of Israel, in the isles of the sea.
16. From the ends of the earth we have heard songs: “Glory to the righteous!” But I say, “I waste away, I waste away! Oy to me! Traitors betray! With treachery traitors betray!”
17. Panic, pit and trap are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth.
18. And it shall come to pass: whoever flees from the sound of panic will fall in the pit, and whoever climbs up out of the pit will be caught in the trap. For the windows of heaven are opened and the foundations of the earth shake.
19. The earth is broken apart, the earth is split open, the earth is shaken utterly.
20. The earth reels to and fro like a drunk, and sways like a hut. its transgression is so heavy upon it that it will fall and never rise again.
