17 Panic, pit, and trap await youn

who dwell on the earth.o

18 Whoever flees at the sound of panic

will fall into a pit,

and whoever escapes from the pit

will be caught in a trap.

For the floodgates on high are opened,a

and the foundations of the earth are shaken.b

19 The earth is completely devastated;

the earth is split open;

the earth is violently shaken.
