Dual Panel1Behold<2009>, the LORD<3068> lays<1238> the earth<776> waste<1238>, devastates<1110> it, distorts<5753> its surface<6440> and scatters<6327> its inhabitants<3427>.
2And the people<5971> will be like the priest<3548>, the servant<5650> like his master<113>, the maid<8198> like her mistress<1404>, the buyer<7069> like the seller<4376>, the lender<3867> like the borrower<3867>, the creditor<5383> like the debtor<5377>.
3The earth<776> will be completely<1238> laid<1238> waste<1238> and completely<962> despoiled<962>, for the LORD<3068> has spoken<1696> this<2088> word<1697>.
4The earth<776> mourns<56> and withers<5034>, the world<8398> fades<535> and withers<5034>, the exalted<4791> of the people<5971> of the earth<776> fade<535> away<535>.
5The earth<776> is also polluted<2610> by its inhabitants<3427>, for they transgressed<5674> laws<8451>, violated<2498> statutes<2706>, broke<6565> the everlasting<5769> covenant<1285>.
6Therefore<5921><3651>, a curse<423> devours<398> the earth<776>, and those who live<3427> in it are held<816> guilty<816>. Therefore<5921><3651>, the inhabitants<3427> of the earth<776> are burned<2787>, and few<4213> men<582> are left<7604>.
7The new<8492> wine<8492> mourns<56>, The vine<1612> decays<535>, All<3605> the merry-hearted<8056><3820> sigh<584>.
8The gaiety<4885> of tambourines<8596> ceases<7673>, The noise<7588> of revelers<5947> stops<2308>, The gaiety<4885> of the harp<3658> ceases<7673>.
9They do not drink<8354> wine<3196> with song<7892>; Strong<7941> drink<7941> is bitter<4843> to those who drink<8354> it.
10The city<7151> of chaos<8414> is broken<7665> down<7665>; Every<3605> house<1004> is shut<5462> up so<4480> that none<4480> may enter<935>.
11There is an outcry<6682> in the streets<2351> concerning<5921> the wine<3196>; All<3605> joy<8057> turns<6150> to gloom<6150>. The gaiety<4885> of the earth<776> is banished<1540>.
12Desolation<8047> is left<7604> in the city<5892> And the gate<8179> is battered<3807> to ruins<7591>.
13For thus<3541> it will be in the midst<7130> of the earth<776> among<8432> the peoples<5971>, As the shaking<5363> of an olive<2132> tree<2132>, As the gleanings<5955> when<518> the grape<1210> harvest<1210> is over<3615>.
14They raise<5375> their voices<6963>, they shout<7442> for joy<7442>; They cry<6670> out from the west<3220> concerning the majesty<1347> of the LORD<3068>.
15Therefore<5921><3651> glorify<3513> the LORD<3068> in the east<747>, The name<8034> of the LORD<3068>, the God<430> of Israel<3478>, In the coastlands<339> of the sea<3220>.
16From the ends<3671> of the earth<776> we hear<8085> songs<2158>, "Glory<6643> to the Righteous<6662> One<6662>," But I say<559>, "Woe<7334> to me! Woe<7334> to me! Alas<188> for me! The treacherous<898> deal<898> treacherously<898>, And the treacherous<898> deal<898> very<899> treacherously<898>."
17Terror<6343> and pit<6354> and snare<6341> Confront<5921> you, O inhabitant<3427> of the earth<776>.
18Then it will be that he who flees<5127> the report<6963> of disaster<6343> will fall<5307> into the pit<6354>, And he who climbs<5927> out of the pit<6354> will be caught<3920> in the snare<6341>; For the windows<699> above<4480><4791> are opened<6605>, and the foundations<4144> of the earth<776> shake<7493>.
19The earth<776> is broken<7489> asunder<7489>, The earth<776> is split<6565> through<6565>, The earth<776> is shaken<4131> violently<4131>.
20The earth<776> reels<5128> to and fro<5128> like a drunkard<7910> And it totters<5110> like a shack<4412>, For its transgression<6588> is heavy<3513> upon it, And it will fall<5307>, never<3808> to rise<6965> again<3254>.
21So it will happen<1961> in that day<3117>, That the LORD<3068> will punish<6485> the host<6635> of heaven<4791> on high<4791>, And the kings<4428> of the earth<127> on earth<127>.
22They will be gathered<622> together<626> Like prisoners<616> in the dungeon<953>, And will be confined<5462> in prison<4525>; And after<4480> many<7230> days<3117> they will be punished<6485>.
23Then the moon<3842> will be abashed<2659> and the sun<2535> ashamed<954>, For the LORD<3068> of hosts<6635> will reign<4427> on Mount<2022> Zion<6726> and in Jerusalem<3389>, And His glory<3519> will be before<5048> His elders<2205>.
