18Whoever flees at the sound of terror

will fall into a pit;

whoever climbs out of the pit

will be caught in a snare.

The floodgates of the heavens are opened,

the foundations of the earth shake.

18Then it will be that the one who flees the sound of terror will fall into the pit,

And the one who 24:18 Lit goes up from the midst ofclimbs out of the pit will be caught in the snare;

For the windows 24:18 Lit from the height; i.e., heavenabove are opened, and the foundations of the earth shake.

18Then it will be that he who flees the report of disaster will fall into the pit,

And he who climbs out of the pit will be caught in the snare;

For the windows above are opened, and the foundations of the earth shake.

18Then it will be that he who flees at the sound of terror will fall into the pit,

And he who comes up out of the pit will be caught in the snare;

For the windows of heaven are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble.

18Whoever flees the sound of panic

will fall into the pit,

and whoever climbs from the pit

will be caught in the snare.

For the windows of heaven are open,

and the foundations of the earth are shaken.

18Anyone who runs away from the terror

will fall into the pit.

Anyone who climbs out of the pit

will be caught in the trap.

The Lord will open the windows of the skies.

He will flood the land.

The foundations of the earth will shake.
