servants and masters,
maids and mistresses,
buyers and sellers,
lenders and borrowers,
bankers and debtors—none will be spared.

like the stray olives left on the tree
or the few grapes left on the vine after harvest.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 24:15 - In eastern lands, give glory to the LORD.
In the lands beyond the sea, praise the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 24:18 - Those who flee in terror will fall into a trap,

They will be shut up in prison
and will finally be punished.

chewing on twigs and branches.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 27:11 - The people are like the dead branches of a tree,
broken off and used for kindling beneath the cooking pots.
Israel is a foolish and stupid nation,
for its people have turned away from God.
Therefore, the one who made them
will show them no pity or mercy.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 27:12 - Yet the time will come when the LORD will gather them together like handpicked grain. One by one he will gather them—from the Euphrates River[fn] in the east to the Brook of Egypt in the west.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 28:4 - It sits at the head of a fertile valley,
but its glorious beauty will fade like a flower.
Whoever sees it will snatch it up,
as an early fig is quickly picked and eaten.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 28:5 - Then at last the LORD of Heaven's Armies
will himself be Israel's glorious crown.
He will be the pride and joy
of the remnant of his people.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 28:13 - So the LORD will spell out his message for them again,
one line at a time,
one line at a time,
a little here,
and a little there,
so that they will stumble and fall.
They will be injured, trapped, and captured.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 28:19 - Again and again that flood will come,
morning after morning,
day and night,
until you are carried away.”
This message will bring terror to your people.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 28:21 - The LORD will come as he did against the Philistines at Mount Perazim
and against the Amorites at Gibeon.
He will come to do a strange thing;
he will come to do an unusual deed:
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 29:2 - Yet I will bring disaster upon you,
and there will be much weeping and sorrow.
For Jerusalem will become what her name Ariel means—
an altar covered with blood.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 29:4 - Then deep from the earth you will speak;
from low in the dust your words will come.
Your voice will whisper from the ground
like a ghost conjured up from the grave.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 29:5 - “But suddenly, your ruthless enemies will be crushed
like the finest of dust.
Your many attackers will be driven away
like chaff before the wind.
Suddenly, in an instant,

with thunder and earthquake and great noise,
with whirlwind and storm and consuming fire.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 29:7 - All the nations fighting against Jerusalem[fn]
will vanish like a dream!
Those who are attacking her walls
will vanish like a vision in the night.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 29:8 - A hungry person dreams of eating
but wakes up still hungry.
A thirsty person dreams of drinking
but is still faint from thirst when morning comes.
So it will be with your enemies,
with those who attack Mount Zion.”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 29:15 - What sorrow awaits those who try to hide their plans from the LORD,
who do their evil deeds in the dark!
“The LORD can't see us,” they say.
“He doesn't know what's going on!”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 30:3 - But by trusting Pharaoh, you will be humiliated,
and by depending on him, you will be disgraced.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 30:8 - Now go and write down these words.
Write them in a book.
They will stand until the end of time
as a witness
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 30:13 - calamity will come upon you suddenly—
like a bulging wall that bursts and falls.
In an instant it will collapse
and come crashing down.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 30:14 - You will be smashed like a piece of pottery—
shattered so completely that
there won't be a piece big enough
to carry coals from a fireplace
or a little water from the well.”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 30:23 - Then the LORD will bless you with rain at planting time. There will be wonderful harvests and plenty of pastureland for your livestock.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 30:25 - In that day, when your enemies are slaughtered and the towers fall, there will be streams of water flowing down every mountain and hill.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 30:26 - The moon will be as bright as the sun, and the sun will be seven times brighter—like the light of seven days in one! So it will be when the LORD begins to heal his people and cure the wounds he gave them.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 30:32 - And as the LORD strikes them with his rod of punishment,
his people will celebrate with tambourines and harps.
Lifting his mighty arm, he will fight the Assyrians.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:2 - Each one will be like a shelter from the wind
and a refuge from the storm,
like streams of water in the desert
and the shadow of a great rock in a parched land.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:15 - until at last the Spirit is poured out
on us from heaven.
Then the wilderness will become a fertile field,
and the fertile field will yield bountiful crops.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:17 - And this righteousness will bring peace.
Yes, it will bring quietness and confidence forever.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 33:9 - The land of Israel wilts in mourning.
Lebanon withers with shame.
The plain of Sharon is now a wilderness.
Bashan and Carmel have been plundered.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 33:11 - You Assyrians produce nothing but dry grass and stubble.
Your own breath will turn to fire and consume you.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 33:21 - The LORD will be our Mighty One.
He will be like a wide river of protection
that no enemy can cross,
that no enemy ship can sail upon.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 34:9 - The streams of Edom will be filled with burning pitch,

Marsh grass and reeds and rushes will flourish
where desert jackals once lived.
