Isaiah 24:1-12

1Behold, the LORDH3068 maketh the earthH776 emptyH1238, and maketh it wasteH1110, and turnethH5753 it upside downH6440, and scattereth abroadH6327 its inhabitantsH3427.1 2And it shall be, as with the peopleH5971, so with the priestH3548; as with the servantH5650, so with his masterH113; as with the maidH8198, so with her mistressH1404; as with the buyerH7069, so with the sellerH4376; as with the lenderH3867, so with the borrowerH3867; as with the taker of interestH5383, soH834 with the giver of interestH5378 to him.2 3The landH776 shall be utterlyH1238 emptiedH1238, and utterlyH962 spoiledH962: for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 this wordH1697. 4The earthH776 mournethH56 and fadeth awayH5034, the worldH8398 languishethH535 and fadeth awayH5034, the haughtyH4791 peopleH5971 of the earthH776 do languishH535.3 5The earthH776 also is defiledH2610 under its inhabitantsH3427; because they have transgressedH5674 the lawsH8451, changedH2498 the ordinanceH2706, brokenH6565 the everlastingH5769 covenantH1285. 6Therefore hath the curseH423 devouredH398 the earthH776, and they that dwellH3427 in it are desolateH816: therefore the inhabitantsH3427 of the earthH776 are burnedH2787, and fewH4213 menH582 leftH7604. 7The new wineH8492 mournethH56, the vineH1612 languishethH535, all the merryheartedH8056H3820 do sighH584. 8The mirthH4885 of tabretsH8596 ceasethH7673, the noiseH7588 of them that rejoiceH5947 endethH2308, the joyH4885 of the harpH3658 ceasethH7673. 9They shall not drinkH8354 wineH3196 with a songH7892; strong drinkH7941 shall be bitterH4843 to them that drinkH8354 it. 10The cityH7151 of confusionH8414 is broken downH7665: every houseH1004 is shut upH5462, that no man may enterH935. 11There is a cryingH6682 for wineH3196 in the streetsH2351; all joyH8057 is darkenedH6150, the mirthH4885 of the landH776 is goneH1540. 12In the cityH5892 is leftH7604 desolationH8047, and the gateH8179 is smittenH3807 with destructionH7591.
