21-23 That’s when God will call on the carpet
    rebel powers in the skies and
Rebel kings on earth.
    They’ll be rounded up like prisoners in a jail,
Corralled and locked up in a jail,
    and then sentenced and put to hard labor.
Shamefaced moon will cower, humiliated,
    red-faced sun will skulk, disgraced,
Because God-of-the-Angel-Armies will take over,
    ruling from Mount Zion and Jerusalem,
Splendid and glorious
    before all his leaders.

21 In that day(A) the Lord will punish(B)
    the powers(C) in the heavens above
    and the kings(D) on the earth below.
22 They will be herded together
    like prisoners(E) bound in a dungeon;(F)
they will be shut up in prison
    and be punished[a] after many days.(G)
23 The moon will be dismayed,
    the sun(H) ashamed;
for the Lord Almighty will reign(I)
    on Mount Zion(J) and in Jerusalem,
    and before its elders—with great glory.(K)
