Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 24:1 -

Behold, Yahweh empties the earth to destruction, eviscerates it, distorts its surface, and scatters its inhabitants.

The new wine mourns;

The vine languishes;

All the glad of heart sigh.

The rumbling of those exulting stops;

The joy of the harp ceases.

All gladness [fn]turns to gloom.

The joy of the earth is taken away into exile.

Desolation remains in the city,

And the gate is struck down to ruins.

As the [fn]shaking of an olive tree,

As the gleanings when the grape harvest is over.

They cry out from the [fn]west concerning the majesty of Yahweh.

The name of Yahweh, the God of Israel,

In the [fn]coastlands of the sea.

But I say, “[fn]I waste away! [fn]I waste away! Woe is me!

The treacherous deal treacherously,

And the treacherous deal very treacherously.”

Panic and pit and pitfall

Are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth.

Then it will be that he who flees the sound of panic will fall into the pit,

And he who [fn]climbs out of the pit will be caught in the pitfall;

For the windows [fn]above are opened, and the foundations of the earth quake.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 24:19 -

The earth is broken asunder;

The earth is split through;

The earth is shaken violently.

The earth reels to and fro like a drunkard

And it totters like a [fn]shack,

For its transgression is heavy upon it,

And it will fall, never to rise again.

So it will be in that day,

That Yahweh will punish the host of heights on high,

And the kings of the earth on earth.

They will be gathered together

Like prisoners in the [fn]pit,

And will be confined in prison;

And after many days they will be punished.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 24:23 -

Then the moon will be humiliated and the sun ashamed,

For Yahweh of hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,

And His glory will be before His elders.
