20 The earth (A)reels to and fro like a drunkard
And it totters like a [a]shack,
For its (B)transgression is heavy upon it,
And it will fall, (C)never to rise again.
21 So it will happen in that day,
That the Lord will (D)punish the host of [b]heaven on high,
And the (E)kings of the earth on earth.
22 They will be gathered together
Like (F)prisoners in the [c]dungeon,
And will be confined in prison;
And after many days they will (G)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)
