## đź“ś Scripture Text (NET)
(The NET Bible: New English Translation. Biblical Studies Press, 2005)
### The Lord Will Judge the Earth
[[#Verse 01.]] Look, the Lord is ready to devastate the earth and leave it in ruins; he will mar its surface and scatter its inhabitants.
[[#Verse 02.]] Everyone will suffer—the priest as well as the people,
the master as well as the servant,
the elegant lady as well as the female attendant,
the seller as well as the buyer,
the borrower as well as the lender,
the creditor as well as the debtor.
[[#Verse 03.]]Â The earth will be completely devastated
and thoroughly ransacked.
For the Lord has decreed this judgment.
[[#Verse 04.]] The earth dries up and withers,
the world shrivels up and withers;
the prominent people of the earth fade away.
[[#Verse 05.]] The earth is defiled by its inhabitants,
for they have violated laws,
disregarded the regulation,
and broken the permanent treaty.
[[#Verse 06.]] So a treaty curse devours the earth;
its inhabitants pay for their guilt.
This is why the inhabitants of the earth disappear,
and are reduced to just a handful of people.
[[#Verse 07.]]Â The new wine dries up,
the vines shrivel up,
all those who like to celebrate groan.
[[#Verse 08.]] The happy sound of the tambourines stops,
the revelry of those who celebrate comes to a halt,
the happy sound of the harp ceases.
[[#Verse 09.]]Â They no longer sing and drink wine;
the beer tastes bitter to those who drink it.
[[#Verse 10.]] The ruined town is shattered;
all the houses are shut up tight.
[[#Verse 11.]]Â They howl in the streets because of what happened to the wine;
all joy turns to sorrow;
celebrations disappear from the earth.
[[#Verse 12.]]Â The city is left in ruins;
the gate is reduced to rubble.
[[#Verse 13.]] This is what will happen throughout the earth,
among the nations.
It will be like when they beat an olive tree,
and just a few olives are left at the end of the harvest.
[[#Verse 14.]] They lift their voices and shout joyfully;
they praise the majesty of the Lord in the west.
[[#Verse 15.]] So in the east extol the Lord,
along the seacoasts extol the fame of the Lord God of Israel.
[[#Verse 16.]] From the ends of the earth we hear songs—
the Just One is majestic.
But I say, “I’m wasting away! I’m wasting away! I’m doomed!
Deceivers deceive, deceivers thoroughly deceive!”
[[#Verse 17.]]Â Terror, pit, and snare
are ready to overtake, you inhabitants of the earth!
[[#Verse 18.]]Â The one who runs away from the sound of the terror
will fall into the pit;
the one who climbs out of the pit
will be trapped by the snare.
For the floodgates of the heavens are opened up
and the foundations of the earth shake.
[[#Verse 19.]] The earth is broken in pieces,
the earth is ripped to shreds,
the earth shakes violently.
[[#Verse 20.]] The earth will stagger around like a drunk;
it will sway back and forth like a hut in a windstorm.
Its sin will weigh it down,
and it will fall and never get up again.
### The Lord Will Become King
[[#Verse 21.]] At that time the Lord will punish
the heavenly forces in the heavens
and the earthly kings on the earth.
[[#Verse 22.]]Â They will be imprisoned in a pit,
locked up in a prison,
and after staying there for a long time, they will be punished.
[[#Verse 23.]]Â The full moon will be covered up,
the bright sun will be darkened;
for the Lord of Heaven’s Armies will rule
on Mount Zion in Jerusalem
in the presence of his assembly, in majestic splendor.
