16From the farthest part of the earth comes the sound of songs, glory to the upright. But I said, I am wasting away, wasting away, the curse is on me! The false ones go on in their false way, yes, they go on acting falsely.
17Fear, and death, and the net, are come on you, O people of the earth.
18And it will be that he who goes in flight from the sound of fear will be overtaken by death; and he who gets free from death will be taken in the net: for the windows on high are open, and the bases of the earth are shaking.
19The earth is completely broken, it is parted in two, it is violently moved.
20The earth will be moving uncertainly, like a man overcome by drink; it will be shaking like a tent; and the weight of its sin will be on it, crushing it down so that it will not get up again.
21And in that day the Lord will send punishment on the army of the high ones on high, and on the kings of the earth on the earth.
22And they will be got together, like prisoners in the prison-house; and after a long time they will have their punishment.
