Isa.|24:1|-|Jehovah now makes the |a|earth desolate and lays it waste; He distorts its surface and scatters its inhabitants:
Isa.|24:2|-|As it is with the people, so will it be with the priest;As it is with the servant, so will it be with the master;
As it is with the maid, so will it be with the mistress;As it is with the buyer, so will it be with the seller;
As it is with the lender, so will it be with the borrower;As it is with the creditor, so will it be with him to whom he gives credit.
Isa.|24:3|-|The earth will be utterly desolatedAnd utterly spoiled,
For Jehovah has spoken this word.
Isa.|24:4|-|The earth dries up and fades away;The world languishes and fades away;
The exalted of the people of the earth languish.
Isa.|24:5|-|And the earth is |a|polluted under the weight of its inhabitants;For they have transgressed laws, they have violated statutes,
They have broken an eternal covenant.
Isa.|24:6|-|Therefore a curse devours the earthAnd the inhabitants of it are held guilty;
Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned,And few men are left.
Isa.|24:7|-|The new wine mourns; the vine languishes;All the merryhearted sigh.
Isa.|24:8|-|The mirth of the tambourines |a|ceases;The noise of those who exult stops;
The mirth of the lyre ceases.
Isa.|24:9|-|Men do not drink wine in song;Liquor is bitter to those who drink it.
Isa.|24:10|-|The city of chaos is broken down;Every house is shut up that none may enter.
Isa.|24:11|-|A cry for wine is in the streets;All joy is darkened;
The mirth of the land is departed.
Isa.|24:12|-|In the city desolation remains,And the gate is crushed to ruins.
Isa.|24:13|-|For thus will it be in the midst of the earth,Among the peoples:
Like the shaking of an olive tree,Like the gleanings when the grape harvest is completed.
Isa.|24:14|-|They will lift up their voice; they will give a ringing shout;Because of the majesty of Jehovah they will cry out from the west.
Isa.|24:15|-|Therefore in the east glorify Jehovah,Even the |a|name of Jehovah the God of Israel in the coastlands of the sea.
Isa.|24:16|-|From the ends of the earth we hear songs:|1|Glory to the righteous One!
But I say, Leanness to me! Leanness to me! Woe to me!The unfaithful deal unfaithfully!
Indeed the unfaithful deal most unfaithfully!
Isa.|24:17|-||a|Dread, pit, and |b|snareAre upon you, O inhabitant of the earth.
Isa.|24:18|-|And he who flees from the sound of dreadWill fall into the pit,
And he who comes up out of the pitWill be taken in the snare;
For the windows from on high are open,And the foundations of the earth shake.
Isa.|24:19|-|The earth is broken asunder;The earth is split through and through;
The earth is shaken violently.
Isa.|24:20|-|The earth staggers back and forth like a drunkardAnd sways about like a field hut.
And its transgression weighs heavily upon it;It will fall and will not rise again.
Isa.|24:21|-|And in that day Jehovah will punishOn high the |1|host on high,
And the |a|kings of the earth on the earth.
Isa.|24:22|-|And they will be gathered together,Like prisoners gathered in a dungeon;
And will be shut up in prison,And after many days they will be punished.
Isa.|24:23|-|Then the |a|moon will be abashed, and the sun will be ashamed;For Jehovah of hosts will reign
In Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,And His glory will be before His elders.
