20 The earth (A)staggers like a drunken man;
    it sways like a hut;
(B)its transgression lies heavy upon it,
    and it falls, and will not rise again.

21 On that day the Lord will punish
    the host of heaven, in heaven,
    and (C)the kings of the earth, on the earth.
22 (D)They will be gathered together
    as prisoners in a pit;
they will be shut up in a prison,
    and after many days (E)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)
