16 We hear songs from the edge[a] of the earth:
    “Glory to the righteous one!”
But I say, “Ruin to me!
    Ruin to me! Woe to me!
The treacherous ones deal treacherously,
    and the treacherous ones deal treacherously with treachery!”

17 Terror and the pit and the snare are upon you, inhabitants[b] of the earth!

18 And this shall happen:

The one who flees from the sound of the terror shall fall into the pit,
    and the one who goes up from inside the pit[c] shall be caught in the snare,
for the windows from heaven are opened,
    and the foundations of the earth tremble.
