Chapter 24
Isai NHEBME 24:1  Behold, the Lord makes the earth empty, makes it waste, turns it upside down, and scatters its inhabitants.
Isai NHEBME 24:2  It will be as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the creditor, so with the debtor; as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest.
Isai NHEBME 24:3  The earth will be utterly emptied and utterly laid waste; for the Lord has spoken this word.
Isai NHEBME 24:4  The earth mourns and fades away. The world languishes and fades away. The lofty people of the earth languish.
Isai NHEBME 24:5  The earth also is polluted under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, and broken the everlasting covenant.
Isai NHEBME 24:6  Therefore the curse has devoured the earth, and those who dwell therein are found guilty. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
Isai NHEBME 24:7  The new wine mourns. The vine languishes. All the merry-hearted sigh.
Isai NHEBME 24:8  The mirth of tambourines ceases. The sound of those who rejoice ends. The joy of the harp ceases.
Isai NHEBME 24:9  They will not drink wine with a song. Strong drink will be bitter to those who drink it.
Isai NHEBME 24:10  The confused city is broken down. Every house is shut up, that no man may come in.
Isai NHEBME 24:11  There is a crying in the streets because of the wine. All joy is darkened. The mirth of the land is gone.
Isai NHEBME 24:12  The city is left in desolation, and the gate is struck with destruction.
Isai NHEBME 24:13  For it will be so in the midst of the earth among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive tree, as the gleanings when the vintage is done.
Isai NHEBME 24:14  These shall lift up their voice. They will shout for the majesty of the Lord. They cry aloud from the sea.
Isai NHEBME 24:15  Therefore glorify the Lord in the east, even the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea!
Isai NHEBME 24:16  From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs. Glory to the righteous! But I said, "I pine away! I pine away! Woe is me!" The treacherous have dealt treacherously. Yes, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.
Isai NHEBME 24:17  Fear, the pit, and the snare, are on you who inhabitant the earth.
Isai NHEBME 24:18  It will happen that he who flees from the noise of the fear will fall into the pit; and he who comes up out of the midst of the pit will be taken in the snare; for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble.
Isai NHEBME 24:19  The earth is utterly broken. The earth is torn apart. The earth is shaken violently.
Isai NHEBME 24:20  The earth will stagger like a drunken man, and will sway back and forth like a hammock. Its disobedience will be heavy on it, and it will fall and not rise again.
Isai NHEBME 24:21  It shall happen in that day that the Lord will punish the army of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth on the earth.
Isai NHEBME 24:22  They shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison; and after many days shall they be visited.
Isai NHEBME 24:23  Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for the Lord of hosts will reign on Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem; and before his elders will be glory.
