Context of Isaiah 24:19
17Fear and the pit and the snare Are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth. 18And it shall be That he who flees from the noise of the fear Shall fall into the pit, And he who comes up from the midst of the pit Shall be caught in the snare; For the windows from on high are open, And the foundations of the earth are shaken. The earth is violently broken, The earth is split open, The earth is shaken exceedingly. 20The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, And shall totter like a hut; Its transgression shall be heavy upon it, And it will fall, and not rise again. 21It shall come to pass in that day That the Lord will punish on high the host of exalted ones, And on the earth the kings of the earth.
