20 The earth will ·stumble [stagger; reel] around like someone who is drunk;
    it will shake like a ·hut in a storm [L hut].
Its ·sin [transgression; rebellion] is ·like a heavy weight on its back [L heavy upon it];
    it will fall and never rise again.

21 ·At that time [L In that day] the Lord will punish
    the ·powers [armies; hosts] in the ·sky [or heavens; L heights] above
    and the ·rulers [kings] on earth below.
22 They will be gathered together
    like prisoners ·thrown into a dungeon [in a pit/cistern];
they will be shut up in prison.
    After ·much time [many days] they will be punished.

20 The earth reels like a drunkard,(A)
    it sways like a hut(B) in the wind;
so heavy upon it is the guilt of its rebellion(C)
    that it falls(D)—never to rise again.(E)

21 In that day(F) the Lord will punish(G)
    the powers(H) in the heavens above
    and the kings(I) on the earth below.
22 They will be herded together
    like prisoners(J) bound in a dungeon;(K)
they will be shut up in prison
    and be punished[a] after many days.(L)
