Isaiah 24:18-20

18 ^aHe who flees at the sound of the terror
shall fall into the pit,
and he who climbs out of the pit
shall be caught in the snare.
For ^bthe windows of heaven are opened,
and ^cthe foundations of the earth tremble.
19 The earth is utterly broken,
the earth is split apart,
the earth is violently shaken.
20 The earth ^dstaggers like a drunken man;
it sways like a hut;
^eits transgression lies heavy upon it,
and it falls, and will not rise again.
