15. And so, everyone in the eastand those on the islandsshould praise the Lord,the God of Israel.
16. From all over the worldsongs of praise are heardfor the God of justice.But I feel awful,terribly miserable.Can anyone be trusted?So many are treacherous!
17. Terror, traps, and pitsare waiting for everyone.
18. If you are terrified and run,you will fall into a pit;if you crawl out of the pit,you will get caught in a trap.The sky has split apartlike a window thrown open.The foundations of the earthhave been shaken;
19. the earth is shattered,ripped to pieces.
