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.

22 They will be herded together
    like prisoners(A) bound in a dungeon;(B)
they will be shut up in prison
    and be punished[a] after many days.(C)
23 The moon will be dismayed,
    the sun(D) ashamed;
for the Lord Almighty will reign(E)
    on Mount Zion(F) and in Jerusalem,
    and before its elders—with great glory.(G)
