19 The earth will burst asunder,
    the earth will be shaken apart,
    the earth will be convulsed.
20 The earth will reel like a drunkard,
    sway like a hut;
Its rebellion will weigh it down;
    it will fall, never to rise again.”(A)
21 On that day the Lord will punish
    the host of the heavens[a] in the heavens,
    and the kings of the earth on the earth.
