Context of Isaiah 24:14
12The city has become a heap of stones. Its gates lie in pieces on the ground. 13This is what will happen among all the nations on the earth. Only a few people will remain, like a few olives that remain on a tree after the harvest. After people have picked the grapes off a vine, there are only a few that remain. Those people who are still alive sing aloud because they are happy. People who live in the west praise the Lord because he is great. 15So people who live in the east should praise the Lord too. People who live on the coast of the sea will also praise the name of the Lord, Israel's God. 16From every part of the earth, we hear songs. People sing to praise the Righteous One. But I say, ‘I have become very weak and thin! It will be very bad for me! Evil people are turning against their friends. They deceive people more and more!’
