20 Like a drunk, the earth staggers and reels;
    it shudders and shakes, like a shack in the wind.
For its rebellion weighs so heavily on it, that it will fall
    and have no chance for repair.

21 On that day, even the heavenly powers and earthly rulers
    will feel the Eternal’s punishing wrath.
22 They’ll be gathered up like prisoners, thrown in a dungeon,
    and suffer the punishment of God after many days.

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)
