Isaiah 24:16-22

16We hear songs of praise from the ends of the earth, songs that give glory to the Righteous One! But my heart is heavy with grief. Weep for me, for I wither away. Deceit still prevails, and treachery is everywhere.

17Terror and traps and snares will be your lot, you people of the earth.

18Those who flee in terror will fall into a trap, and those who escape the trap will be caught in a snare. Destruction falls like rain from the heavens; the foundations of the earth shake.

19The earth has broken up. It has utterly collapsed; it is violently shaken.

20The earth staggers like a drunk. It trembles like a tent in a storm. It falls and will not rise again, for the guilt of its rebellion is very heavy.

21In that day the Lord will punish the gods in the heavens and the proud rulers of the nations on earth.

22They will be rounded up and put in prison. They will be shut up in prison and will finally be punished.
