16
From the ends of the earth we have heard songs: "Glory to the righteous!" But I said, "I am ruined, ruined! Woe to me! The treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously, Indeed, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously."
17
Fear and the pit and the snare Are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth.
18
And it shall be That he who flees from the noise of the fear Shall fall into the pit, And he who comes up from the midst of the pit Shall be caught in the snare; For the windows from on high are open, And the foundations of the earth are shaken.
19
The earth is violently broken, The earth is split open, The earth is shaken exceedingly.
20
The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, And shall totter like a hut; Its transgression shall be heavy upon it, And it will fall, and not rise again.
21
It shall come to pass in that day That the Lord will punish on high the host of exalted ones, And on the earth the kings of the earth.
22
They will be gathered together, As prisoners are gathered in the pit, And will be shut up in the prison; After many days they will be punished.
23
Then the moon will be disgraced And the sun ashamed; For the Lord of hosts will reign On Mount Zion and in Jerusalem And before His elders, gloriously.
