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.

20 The earth staggers like a drunkardc

and sways like a hut.

Earth’s rebellion weighs it down,

and it falls, never to rise again.

21 On that dayd the Lord will punish

the army of the heights in the heights

and the kings of the ground on the ground.

22 They will be gathered together

like prisoners in a pit.e

They will be confined to a dungeon;f

after many days they will be punished.

23 The moon will be put to shame

and the sun disgraced,

because the Lord of Armies will reign as king

on Mount Zion in Jerusalem,

and he will display his glory

in the presence of his elders.g
