"And in that day the Lord will send punishment on the army of the high ones on high, and on the kings of the earth on the earth."
— Isaiah 24:21, Bible in Basic English
And it will be that he who goes in flight from the sound of fear will be overtaken by death; and he who gets free from death will be taken in the net: for the windows on high are open, and the bases of the earth are shaking.
The earth is completely broken, it is parted in two, it is violently moved.
The earth will be moving uncertainly, like a man overcome by drink; it will be shaking like a tent; and the weight of its sin will be on it, crushing it down so that it will not get up again.
And in that day the Lord will send punishment on the army of the high ones on high, and on the kings of the earth on the earth.
And they will be got together, like prisoners in the prison-house; and after a long time they will have their punishment.
Then the moon will be veiled, and the sun put to shame; for the Lord of armies will be ruling in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before his judges he will let his glory be seen.
