ISA-24:1 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it

waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the

inhabitants thereof.

ISA-24:2 And it shall 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 lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of

usury, so with the giver of usury to him.

ISA-24:3 The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled:

for the LORD hath spoken this word.

ISA-24:4 The earth mourneth [and] fadeth away, the world

languisheth [and] fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth

do languish.

ISA-24:5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof;

 because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance,

broken the everlasting covenant. ISA-24:6 Therefore hath the

curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are

desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and

few men left.

ISA-24:7 The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the

merryhearted do sigh.

ISA-24:8 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that

rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.

ISA-24:9 They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink

shall be bitter to them that drink it.

ISA-24:10 The city of confusion is broken down: every house is

shut up, that no man may come in.

ISA-24:11 [There is] a crying for wine in the streets; all joy

is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.

ISA-24:12 In the city is left desolation, and the gate is

smitten with destruction.

ISA-24:13 When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among

the people, [there shall be] as the shaking of an olive tree,

[and] as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.

ISA-24:14 They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for

the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.

ISA-24:15 Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, [even] the

name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea.

ISA-24:16 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard

songs, [even] glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness,

my leanness, woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt

treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very

treacherously.

ISA-24:17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, [are] upon thee, O

inhabitant of the earth.

ISA-24:18 And it shall come to pass, [that] he who fleeth from

the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that

cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the

snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the

foundations of the earth do shake.

ISA-24:19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean

dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.

ISA-24:20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and

shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof

shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.

ISA-24:21 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the LORD

shall punish the host of the high ones [that are] on high, and

the kings of the earth upon the earth.

ISA-24:22 And 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.

ISA-24:23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed,

 when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in

Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.
