20 The sins of the world are very heavy,
    so the earth will fall under the weight.
It will shake like an old house.
    It will fall like a drunk.
    It will not be able to stand.

21 At that time the Lord will judge
    the heavenly armies in heaven
    and the earthly kings on earth.
22 Many people will be gathered together.
    They have been locked in the Pit.
They have been in prison.[a]
    But finally, after a long time, they will be judged.
