Distorts its surface
And scatters abroad its inhabitants.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 24:2 - And it shall be:
As with the people, so with the priest;

As with the creditor, so with the debtor.

For the majesty of the LORD
They shall cry aloud from the sea.

The treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously,
Indeed, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.”

Shall be caught in the snare;
For the windows from on high are open,
And the foundations of the earth are shaken.

The earth is split open,
The earth is shaken exceedingly.

And it will fall, and not rise again.

That the LORD will punish on high the host of exalted ones,
And on the earth the kings of the earth.

As prisoners are gathered in the pit,
And will be shut up in the prison;
After many days they will be punished.

And the sun ashamed;
For the LORD of hosts will reign
On Mount Zion and in Jerusalem
And before His elders, gloriously.
