So complete, so persistent are the nation’s sins that even the lights of heaven go out.

10 For the stars that define the constellations in the heavens
    will fail to give their light.
The sun will go dark even when it’s high in the sky;
    the moon will not shine.[a]

11 Eternal One: I will turn the world’s wrongdoings back on itself.
        I will punish those who act wickedly.
    I will stop the arrogant musings of the proud and pompous,
        and make them puny and weak.
12     People will be a rarity in the land,
        like great chunks of gold from Ophir.
