18 Anyone who runs away from the terror
    will fall into the pit.
Anyone who climbs out of the pit
    will be caught in the trap.

The Lord will open the windows of the skies.
    He will flood the land.
    The foundations of the earth will shake.
19 The earth will be broken up.
    It will split open.
    It will be shaken to pieces.
20 The earth will be unsteady like someone who is drunk.
    It will sway like a tent in the wind.
Its sin will weigh so heavily on it that it will fall.
    It will never get up again.
