And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.

The verse 18 is found in chapter 24 of Isaiah. Amid devastation, a song arises from the ends of the earth, but joy is mixed with terror. Yahweh reigns over earthly powers and celestial bodies, while the earth is shaken. The chapter concludes by showing that no power, earthly or celestial in poetic terms, can compete with divine sovereignty.

Und ob einer entflöhe vor dem Geschrei des Schreckens, so wird er doch in die Grube fallen; kommt er aus der Grube, so wird er doch im Strick gefangen werden. Denn die Fenster der Höhe sind aufgetan, und die Grundfesten der Erde beben.
Y acontecerá que el que huirá de la voz del terror, caerá en la sima; y el que saliere de en medio de la sima, será preso del lazo: porque de lo alto se abrieron ventanas, y temblarán los fundamentos de la tierra.
El que huya del sonido del terror caerá en el foso, y el que suba del foso quedará atrapado en la trampa; porque las compuertas de lo alto se han abierto y tiemblan los cimientos de la tierra.
Celui qui fuit devant les cris de terreur tombe dans la fosse, Et celui qui remonte de la fosse se prend au filet; Car les écluses d'en haut s'ouvrent, Et les fondements de la terre sont ébranlés.
Ed avverrà, che chi fuggirà per lo grido dello spavento caderà nella fossa; e chi salirà fuor di mezzo della fossa sarà preso col laccio; perciocchè le cateratte da alto saranno aperte, e i fondamenti della terra tremeranno.
E será que aquele que fugir da voz de temor cairá na cova, e o que subir da cova o laço o prenderá; porque as janelas do alto estão abertas, e os fundamentos da terra tremem.
躲過驚嚇之聲的墜入陷阱, 逃離陷阱的又被羅網纏住, 因為天上的窗戶都打開, 地的根基也震動。
