Isaiah 24

Judgment on the Earth

1BeholdH2009, the LordH3068 1laysH1238 the earthH776 wasteH1238, devastatesH1110 it, twistsH5753 its surfaceH6440, and scattersH6327 its inhabitantsH3427. 2And the peopleH5971 will be like the priestH3548, the servantH5650 like his masterH113, the femaleH8198 servantH8198 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 plunderedH962, for the LordH3068 has spokenH1696 thisH2088 wordH1697. 4The 3earthH776 driesH56 upH56 and crumblesH5034 awayH5034, the mainlandH8398 driesH535 outH535 and crumblesH5034 awayH5034, the 4exaltedH4791 of the peopleH5971 of the earthH776 dwindleH535. 5The earthH776 is also 5defiledH2610 6by its inhabitantsH3427, for they violatedH5674 lawsH8451, alteredH2498 statutesH2706, and 7brokeH6565 the everlastingH5769 covenantH1285. 6ThereforeH5921H3651, a 8curseH423 devoursH398 the earthH776, and those who liveH3427 on it sufferH816 forH816 their guiltH816. ThereforeH5921H3651, the 9inhabitantsH3427 of the earthH776 decreaseH2787 inH2787 numberH2787, and fewH4213 peopleH582 are leftH7604.

7The 10newH8492 wineH8492 mournsH56, The vineH1612 decaysH535, AllH3605 the joyful-heartedH8056H3820 sighH584.8The 11joyH4885 of tambourinesH8596 ceasesH7673, The noiseH7588 of revelersH5947 stopsH2308, The joyH4885 of the harpH3658 ceasesH7673.9They do not drinkH8354 wineH3196 with songH7892; 12IntoxicatingH7941 drinkH7941 is 13bitterH4843 to those who drinkH8354 it.10The 14cityH7151 of chaosH8414 is brokenH7665 downH7665; 15EveryH3605 houseH1004 is shutH5462 upH5462 soH4480 thatH4480 noH4480 oneH4480 may enterH935.11There is an 16outcryH6682 in the streetsH2351 concerningH5921 the wineH3196; 17AllH3605 joyH8057 18turnsH6150 toH6150 gloomH6150. The joyH4885 of the earthH776 is banishedH1540.12DesolationH8047 is leftH7604 in the cityH5892 And the 19gateH8179 is batteredH3807 to ruinsH7591.13For 20soH3541 it will be in the midstH7130 of the earthH776 amongH8432 the peoplesH5971, As the 21shakingH5363 of an oliveH2132 treeH2132, As the gleaningsH5955 whenH518 the grapeH1210 harvestH1210 isH3615 overH3615.1422They raiseH5375 their voicesH6963, they shoutH7442 forH7442 joyH7442; They cryH6670 outH6670 from the 23westH3220 concerning the majestyH1347 of the LordH3068.15ThereforeH5921H3651 24glorifyH3513 the LordH3068 in the 25eastH747, The 26nameH8034 of the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, In the 2728coastlandsH339 of the seaH3220.16From the 29endsH3671 of the earthH776 we hearH8085 songsH2158: “30GloryH6643 to the RighteousH6662 OneH6662,” But I sayH559, “31I am finishedH7334! I am finishedH7334! WoeH188 to me! The 32treacherousH898 dealH898 treacherouslyH898, And the treacherousH898 dealH898 veryH899 treacherouslyH898.”1733TerrorH6343 and pitH6354 and snareH6341 34ConfrontH5921 you, you inhabitantH3427 of the earthH776.18Then it will be that the one who fleesH5127 the soundH6963 of terrorH6343 will fallH5307 into the pitH6354, And the one who 35climbsH5927 out of the pitH6354 will be caughtH3920 in the snareH6341; For the 36windowsH699 37aboveH4480H4791 are openedH6605, and the 38foundationsH4144 of the earthH776 shakeH7493.1939The earthH776 is brokenH7489 apartH7489, The earthH776 is 40splitH6565 throughH6565, The earthH776 is shakenH4131 violentlyH4131.20The earthH776 41tremblesH5128 like a heavyH7910 drinkerH7910 And swaysH5110 like a hutH4412, For its 42wrongdoingH6588 isH3513 heavyH3513 upon it, And it will fallH5307, 43neverH3808 to riseH6965 againH3254.21So it will happenH1961 on that dayH3117, That the LordH3068 will 44punishH6485 the rebellious 4546angelsH6635 of 47heavenH4791 on highH4791, And the 48kingsH4428 of the earthH127 on earthH127.22They will be gatheredH622 togetherH626 Like 49prisonersH616 in the 50dungeonH953, And will be confinedH5462 inH5462 prisonH4525; And afterH4480 manyH7230 daysH3117 they will 51be punishedH6485.23Then the 52moonH3842 will be ashamedH2659 and the sunH2535 be putH954 toH954 shameH954, For the 53LordH3068 of armiesH6635 will reignH4427 on 54MountH2022 ZionH6726 and in JerusalemH3389, And His gloryH3519 will be beforeH5048 His eldersH2205.
