Isaiah 24:1-10

1BeholdH2009, the LordH3068 1laysH1238 the earthH776 wasteH1238, devastatesH1110 it, distortsH5753 its surfaceH6440 and scattersH6327 its inhabitantsH3427. 2And the peopleH5971 will be like the priestH3548, the servantH5650 like his masterH113, the maidH8198 like her mistressH1404, the buyerH7069 like the sellerH4376, the lenderH3867 like the borrowerH3867, the 2creditorH5383 like the debtorH5377. 3The earthH776 will be completelyH1238 laidH1238 wasteH1238 and completelyH962 despoiledH962, for the LordH3068 has spokenH1696 thisH2088 wordH1697. 4The 3earthH776 mournsH56 and withersH5034, the worldH8398 fadesH535 and withersH5034, the 4exaltedH4791 of the peopleH5971 of the earthH776 fadeH535 awayH535. 5The earthH776 is also 5pollutedH2610 6by its inhabitantsH3427, for they transgressedH5674 lawsH8451, violatedH2498 statutesH2706, 7brokeH6565 the everlastingH5769 covenantH1285. 6ThereforeH5921H3651, a 8curseH423 devoursH398 the earthH776, and those who liveH3427 in it are heldH816 guiltyH816. ThereforeH5921H3651, the 9inhabitantsH3427 of the earthH776 are burnedH2787, and fewH4213 menH582 are leftH7604.

7The 10newH8492 wineH8492 mournsH56, The vineH1612 decaysH535, AllH3605 the merry-heartedH8056H3820 sighH584.8The 11gaietyH4885 of tambourinesH8596 ceasesH7673, The noiseH7588 of revelersH5947 stopsH2308, The gaietyH4885 of the harpH3658 ceasesH7673.9They do not drinkH8354 wineH3196 with songH7892; 12StrongH7941 drinkH7941 is 13bitterH4843 to those who drinkH8354 it.10The 14cityH7151 of chaosH8414 is brokenH7665 downH7665; 15EveryH3605 houseH1004 is shutH5462 up soH4480 that noneH4480 may enterH935.
