21 On that day the Lord will punish
    the host of the heavens[a] in the heavens,
    and the kings of the earth on the earth.
22 They will be gathered together
    like prisoners into a pit;
They will be shut up in a dungeon,
    and after many days they will be punished.(A)
23 Then the moon will blush
    and the sun be ashamed,(B)
For the Lord of hosts will reign
    on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,
    glorious in the sight of the elders.[b](C)
