part
of the earth have
we heard
songs
: Glory to the righteous. But I said, I pine
away ,
I pine
away ,
woe is me !

dealt
treacherously
; yea,

dealt
very
treacherously

singing
: “
Glory to the Righteous One

I am
wasting

and the

and the
snare ,
are
upon
thee
, O inhabitant
of the earth.

and pit and snare await
you

of the earth.
And
it
shall

he
who
fleeth
from
the noise
of the
fear
shall
fall into the pit ;
and he
that
cometh
up
out
of
the
midst
of
the pit shall
be taken
in the snare :
for the windows on
high
are opened
, and the foundations of the earth tremble
.
Whoever
flees
the sound
of panic
will
fall into the pit ,
and whoever
climbs
from
the pit will
be caught
in the snare .
For the windows of
heaven
are open
, and the foundations of the earth are
shaken
.
The earth is utterly broken, the earth is rent
asunder
, the earth is shaken violently.
The earth is utterly broken apart
, the earth is split
open

The earth shall
stagger
like a drunken
man,
and
shall
sway
to
and fro
like a hammock;
and
the
transgression
thereof
shall
be
heavy
upon
it, and it shall
fall
, and
not
rise again.
The earth staggers
like a drunkard
and sways
like a shack.
Earth’s
rebellion
weighs
it down
, and it falls
, never
to
rise again.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in that day ,
that
Jehovah
will punish the host of the

.
In that day the
LORD
will punish the host of heaven
above
and the kings of the earth below
.

they shall
be gathered together ,

the
prison;
and after many days shall
they
be
visited
.

be gathered together like
prisoners in a
pit .

will
be confined
to
a
dungeon
and punished
after many days.

the moon shall
be confounded ,
and the sun ashamed; for Jehovah
of hosts will reign in
mount Zion ,
and in Jerusalem ;
and before his elders shall
be
glory.
The moon will
be confounded and the sun will
be
ashamed; for the
LORD
of Hosts will reign on
Mount Zion and in Jerusalem ,
and before His elders with
great
glory.
