Isaiah 24:18-20
1599 Geneva Bible
18 And he that fleeth from the noise of the fear, shall fall into the pit: and he that cometh up out of the pit, shall be taken in the snare: for the [a]windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.
19 The earth is utterly broken down: the earth is clean dissolved: the earth is moved exceedingly.
20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunken man, and shall be removed like a tent, and the iniquity thereof shall be heavy upon it: so that it shall fall, and rise no more.

Isaiah 24:18-20
New International Version
18 Whoever flees(A) at the sound of terror
will fall into a pit;(B)
whoever climbs out of the pit
will be caught in a snare.(C)
The floodgates of the heavens(D) are opened,
the foundations of the earth shake.(E)
19 The earth is broken up,(F)
the earth is split asunder,(G)
the earth is violently shaken.
20 The earth reels like a drunkard,(H)
it sways like a hut(I) in the wind;
so heavy upon it is the guilt of its rebellion(J)
that it falls(K)—never to rise again.(L)
