18 And it shall come to pass:
whoever flees from the sound of panic
    will fall in the pit,
and whoever climbs up out of the pit
    will be caught in the trap.

and the foundations of the earth shake.
19 The earth is broken apart,
the earth is split open,
the earth is shaken utterly.
20 The earth reels to and fro like a drunk,
    and sways like a hut.
its transgression is so heavy upon it
that it will fall and never rise again.
