Isaiah 24:16-22

16From the ends of the earth we hear songs – the Just One is majestic. But I say, “I’m wasting away! I’m wasting away! I’m doomed! Deceivers deceive, deceivers thoroughly deceive!”

17Terror, pit, and snare are ready to overtake you inhabitants of the earth!

18The one who runs away from the sound of the terror will fall into the pit; the one who climbs out of the pit, will be trapped by the snare. For the floodgates of the heavens are opened up and the foundations of the earth shake.

19The earth is broken in pieces, the earth is ripped to shreds, the earth shakes violently.

20The earth will stagger around like a drunk; it will sway back and forth like a hut in a windstorm. Its sin will weigh it down, and it will fall and never get up again.

21At that time the Lord will punish the heavenly forces in the heavens and the earthly kings on the earth.

22They will be imprisoned in a pit, locked up in a prison, and after staying there for a long time, they will be punished.
