Dual Panel1Look <02009>, the Lord <03068> is ready to devastate <01238> the earth <0776> and leave <01110> it in ruins <01110>; he will mar <05753> its surface <06440> and scatter <06327> its inhabitants <03427>.
2Everyone will suffer– the priest <03548> as well as the people <05971>, the master <0113> as well as the servant <05650>, the elegant lady <01404> as well as the female attendant <08198>, the seller <04376> as well as the buyer <07069>, the borrower <03867> as well as the lender <03867>, the creditor <05383> as well as the debtor <05378>.
3The earth <0776> will be completely devastated <01238> <01238> and thoroughly <0962> ransacked <0962>. For <03588> the Lord <03068> has decreed <01696> this <02088> judgment <01697>.
4The earth <0776> dries up <056> and withers <05034>, the world <08398> shrivels up <0535> and withers <05034>; the prominent <04791> people <05971> of the earth <0776> fade away <0535>.
5The earth <0776> is defiled <02610> by <08478> its inhabitants <03427>, for <03588> they have violated <05674> laws <08451>, disregarded <02498> the regulation <02706>, and broken <06565> the permanent <05769> treaty <01285>.
6So <03651> a treaty curse <0423> devours <0398> the earth <0776>; its inhabitants <03427> pay for their guilt <0816>. This is why <03651> the inhabitants <03427> of the earth <0776> disappear <02787>, and are reduced <07604> to just a handful <04213> of people <0582>.
7The new wine <08492> dries up <056>, the vines <01612> shrivel up <0535>, all <03605> those who like to celebrate <03820> <08056> groan <0584>.
8The happy sound <04885> of the tambourines <08596> stops <07673>, the revelry <07588> of those who celebrate <05947> comes to a halt <02308>, the happy sound <04885> of the harp <03658> ceases <07673>.
9They no <03808> longer sing <07892> and drink <08354> wine <03196>; the beer <07941> tastes bitter <04843> to those who drink <08354> it.
10The ruined <08414> town <07151> is shattered <07665>; all <03605> of the houses <01004> are shut up <05462> tight <0935>.
11They howl <06682> in <05921> the streets <02351> because of what happened to the wine <03196>; all <03605> joy <08057> turns to sorrow <06150>; celebrations <04885> disappear <01540> from the earth <0776>.
12The city <05892> is left <07604> in ruins <08047>; the gate <08179> is reduced <03807> to rubble <07591>.
13This <03588> is what <03541> will happen <01961> throughout <07130> the earth <0776>, among <08432> the nations <05971>. It will be like when they beat <05363> an olive tree <02132>, and just a few olives <05955> are left <05955> at the end <03615> of the harvest <01210>.
14They <01992> lift <05375> their voices <06963> and shout joyfully <07442>; they praise <06670> the majesty <01347> of the Lord <03069> in the west <03220>.
15So <03651> in the east <0217> extol the Lord <03068>, along the seacoasts <0339> extol the fame <08034> of the Lord <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>.
16From the ends <03671> of the earth <0776> we hear <08085> songs <02158>– the Just One <06662> is majestic <06643>. But I say <0559>, “I’m wasting away <07334>! I’m wasting away <07334>! I’m doomed <0188>! Deceivers <0898> deceive <0898>, deceivers <0898> thoroughly <0899> deceive <0898>!”
17Terror <06343>, pit <06354>, and snare <06341> are ready to overtake <05921> you inhabitants <03427> of the earth <0776>!
18The one who runs away <05127> from the sound <06963> of the terror <06343> will fall <05307> into <0413> the pit <06354>; the one who climbs out <05927> of <08432> the pit <06354>, will be trapped <03920> by the snare <06341>. For <03588> the floodgates <0699> of the heavens <04791> are opened <06605> up and the foundations <04146> of the earth <0776> shake <07493>.
19The earth <0776> is broken <06565> in pieces <07489> <07489>, the earth <0776> is ripped to shreds <06565>, the earth <0776> shakes violently <04131> <04131>.
20The earth <0776> will stagger <05128> around <05128> like a drunk <07910>; it will sway back and forth <05110> like a hut <04412> in a windstorm. Its sin <06588> will weigh <03513> it down <03513>, and it will fall <05307> and never <03808> get up <06965> again <03254>.
21At that time <03117> the Lord <03068> will punish <06485> the heavenly forces <04791> <06635> in the heavens <04791> and the earthly <0127> kings <04428> on <05921> the earth <0127>.
22They will be imprisoned <0622> in a pit <0953>, locked up <05462> in a prison <04525>, and after staying there for a long <07230> time <03117>, they will be punished <06485>.
23The full moon <03842> will be covered up <02659>, the bright sun <02535> will be darkened <0954>; for <03588> the Lord <03068> who commands armies <06635> will rule <04427> on Mount <02022> Zion <06726> in Jerusalem <03389> in the presence <05048> of his assembly, in majestic <02205> splendor <03519>.
