10. The ruined city lies desolate;the entrance to every house is barred.
11. In the streets they cry out for wine;all joy turns to gloom,all joyful sounds are banished from the earth.
12. The city is left in ruins,its gate is battered to pieces.
13. So will it be on the earthand among the nations,as when an olive tree is beaten,or as when gleanings are left after the grape harvest.
14. They raise their voices, they shout for joy;from the west they acclaim the Lord’s majesty.
15. Therefore in the east give glory to the Lord;exalt the name of the Lord, the God of Israel,in the islands of the sea.
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 terrorwill fall into a pit;whoever climbs out of the pitwill 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 rebellionthat it falls – never to rise again.
21. In that day the Lord will punishthe powers in the heavens aboveand the kings on the earth below.
22. They will be herded togetherlike prisoners bound in a dungeon;they will be shut up in prisonand be punished after many days.
