1 The Lord is going to turn the earth into a desolate wasteland.
2 The same will happen to people and priests,
3 The earth will be completely laid waste and stripped
4 The earth dries up and withers.
5 The earth is polluted by those who live on it
6 That is why a curse devours the earth,
7 New wine dries up, and grapevines waste away.
8 Joyful tambourine music stops.
9 People no longer drink wine when they sing.
10 The ruined city lies desolate.
11 People in the streets call for wine.
12 The city is left in ruins.
13 That is the way it will be on earth among the nations.
14 They raise their voices.
15 Honor the Lord in the east.
16 From the ends of the earth we hear songs of praise
17 Disasters, pits, and traps
18 Whoever flees from news of a disaster will fall into a pit.
19 The earth will be completely broken.
20 The earth will stumble like a drunk
21 On that day the Lord will punish heaven’s armies in heaven
22 They’ll be gathered like prisoners in a jail
23 The moon will be embarrassed.
