Isaiah 24:1-16

1BeholdH2009, the LORDH3068 maketh the earthH776 empty, and maketh it wasteH1110, and turneth it upside downH3427, and scattereth abroad the inhabitantsH3427 thereof.

2And it shall be, as with the peopleH5971, soH1961 with the priestH3548; as with the servantH5650, soH1961 with his masterH113; as with the maidH8198, soH1961 with herH1961 mistressH1404; as with the buyerH7069, soH1961 with the sellerH4376; as with the lender, soH1961 with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, soH1961 with the giver of usury to him.

3The earthH776 shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled; for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 this wordH1697.

4The earthH776 mourneth and fadeth awayH535, the worldH8398 languisheth and fadeth awayH535, the loftyH4791 peopleH5971 of the earthH776 do languishH535.

5The earthH776 also is pollutedH2610 underH8478 the inhabitantsH3427 thereof; becauseH3588 they have transgressed the lawsH8451, changedH2498 the ordinanceH2706, brokenH6565 the everlastingH5769 covenantH1285.

6Therefore hath the curseH423 devouredH398 the earthH776, and they that dwellH3427 therein are foundH816 guiltyH816: therefore the inhabitantsH3427 of the earthH776 are burnedH2787, and fewH4213 menH582 leftH7604.

7The newH8492 wineH8492 mourneth, the vineH1612 languisheth, allH3605 the merryhearted doH3605 sighH584.

8The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noiseH7588 of them that rejoiceH4885 endeth, the joyH4885 of the harpH3658 ceaseth.

9They shall notH3808 drinkH8354 wineH3196 with a songH7892; strongH7941 drinkH8354 shall be bitterH4843 to them that drinkH8354 it.

10The cityH7151 of confusionH8414 is brokenH7665 downH7665: everyH3605 houseH1004 is shutH5462 upH5462, that noH3605 manH3605 may comeH935 in.

11There is a crying in the streetsH2351 becauseH5921 of the wineH3196; allH3605 joyH8057 is darkened, the mirthH8057 of the landH776 is goneH1540.

12In the cityH5892 is leftH7604 desolationH8047, and the gateH8179 is smitten with destructionH8047.

13For thusH3541 shall it be in the midstH8432 of the earthH776 among the peoplesH5971, as the shakingH5363 of an oliveH2132 treeH2132, as the grapeH1210 gleaningsH5955 when the vintageH1210 is doneH1961.

14TheseH1992 shall liftH5375 upH5375 their voiceH6963, they shall shoutH7442; for the majesty of the LORDH3068 they cryH6963 aloudH7442 from the seaH3220.

15Wherefore glorifyH3513 ye the LORDH3068 in the east, evenH3651 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, in the islesH339 of the seaH3220.

16From the uttermost part of the earthH776 have weH8085 heardH8085 songsH2158, glory to the righteousH6662. But I saidH559, I pine awayH3671, I pine awayH3671, woeH188 is me! the treacherousH898 dealers have dealtH898 treacherouslyH898; yea, the treacherousH898 dealers have dealtH898 veryH898 treacherouslyH898.
