Isaiah
Chapter 24
1
Behold, Jehovah/God
makes
the earth empty,
and
makes it waste,
and
turns it upside down,
and
scatters abroad
the
inhabitants thereof.
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.
3
The land shall be utterly emptied,
and
utterly spoiled . . .
for
Jehovah/God has spoken this word.
4
The earth mourns and fades away,
the
world languishes and fades away,
the
haughty people of the earth do languish.
5
The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof
because
they have transgressed the laws,
changed
the ordinance,
broken
the everlasting covenant.
6
Therefore has the curse devoured the earth,
and
those who dwell therein are desolate.
Therefore
the inhabitants of the earth are burned,
and
few men left.
7
The new wine mourns,
the
vine languishes,
all
the merry-hearted do sigh.
8
The mirth of tabrets ceases,
the
noise of those who rejoice ends,
the
joy of the harp ceases.
9 They shall not drink wine with a song.
Strong drink shall be bitter to those who drink it.
10 The city of confusion is broken down.
Every house is shut up, that no man may come in.
11 There is a crying for wine in the streets.
All joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.
12
In the city is left desolation,
and
the gate is smitten with destruction.
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.
14
They shall lift up their voice,
they
shall sing for the majesty of Jehovah/God,
they
shall cry aloud from the sea.
15
Wherefore glorify you Jehovah/God in the fires,
even
the name of Jehovah/God
'Elohiym/Godhead
of Israel in the isles of the sea.
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.
Yes,
the treacherous dealers
have
dealt very treacherously.
17
Fear, and the pit, and the snare,
are
upon you,
O
inhabitant of the earth.
18
And it shall come to pass,
that
he who flees from the noise of the fear
shall
fall into the pit;
and
he who comes 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.
19
The earth is utterly broken down,
the
earth is clean dissolved,
the
earth is moved exceedingly.
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.
21
And it shall come to pass
in
that day,
that
Jehovah/God shall punish
the
army/host of the high ones who are on high,
and
the kings of the earth upon the earth.
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.
23
Then the moon shall be confounded,
and
the sun ashamed,
when
Jehovah/God of the armies/hosts
shall
reign in mount Zion,
and
in Jerusalem,
and
before His Ancients gloriously.
