[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 terror will fall into a pit; whoever climbs out of the pit will 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 rebellion that it falls—never to rise again. [21] In that day the LORD will punish the powers in the heavens above and the kings on the earth below. [22] They will be herded together like prisoners bound in a dungeon; they will be shut up in prison and be punished after many days. [23] The moon will be dismayed, the sun ashamed; for the LORD Almighty will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before its elders—with great glory.
