11 The Lord will punish the world because it is so evil.
    He will punish evil people for their sins.
He’ll put an end to the bragging of those who are proud.
    He’ll bring down the pride of those who don’t show any pity.
12 He’ll make people harder to find than pure gold.
    They will be harder to find than gold from Ophir.
13 He will make the heavens tremble.
    He’ll shake the earth out of its place.
The Lord who rules over all will show how angry he is.
    At that time his burning anger will blaze out.
