Context of Isaiah 24:19
17Terror and pit and snare await you, O dweller of the earth. 18Whoever flees the sound of panic will fall into the pit, and whoever climbs from the pit will be caught in the snare. For the windows of heaven are open, and the foundations of the earth are shaken. The earth is utterly broken apart, the earth is split open, the earth is shaken violently. 20The earth staggers like a drunkard and sways like a shack. Earth’s rebellion weighs it down, and it falls, never to rise again. 21In that day the LORD will punish the host of heaven above and the kings of the earth below.
