15 The sun and the moon will become dark,
    and the stars will ·stop shining [L withhold their brightness; 2:10].
16 The Lord ·will roar like a lion from Jerusalem [L roars from Zion];
    his loud voice will thunder from ·that city [L Jerusalem],
    and the ·sky [heavens] and the earth will shake.
But the Lord will be a ·safe place [refuge] for his people,
    a ·strong place of safety [stronghold] for the ·people [L sons; T children] of Israel.

17 “Then you will know that I, the Lord your God,
    live on my holy Mount Zion.
Jerusalem will be a holy place,
    and ·strangers [foreigners] will never even go through it again [C as invaders].
