17 Terror and the pit and the snare
    threaten all of you inhabitants of the earth.
18 Anyone who flees from the sound of terror
    will fall into the pit,
and whoever climbs out of the pit
    will be caught in the snare.
For the windows of heaven will be opened
    and the foundations of the earth will shake.
19 The earth will be totally shattered,
    the earth will be torn apart
    the earth will be violently convulsed.
