Isaiah - ch 24 v 1 - 20
- Behold, Jehovah maketh the land empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad its inhabitants.
- 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 him from whom usury is taken.
- The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled; for Jehovah hath spoken this word.
- The land mourneth, it fadeth away; the world languisheth, it fadeth away: the haughty people of the land do languish.
- And the land is polluted under the inhabitants thereof; for they have violated the laws, changed the statute, broken the everlasting covenant.
- Therefore doth the curse devour the earth, and they that dwell therein are held guilty; therefore the inhabitants of the earth are consumed, and few men are left.
- The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all that were merry-hearted do sigh;
- the mirth of tambours ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.
- They do not drink wine with a song; strong drink is bitter to them that drink it.
- The city of solitude is broken down; every house is shut up, so that none entereth in.
- There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone;
- desolation remaineth in the city, and the gate is smitten, -- a ruin.
- For so will it be in the midst of the land among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive-tree, as the grape-gleanings when the vintage is done.
- These shall lift up their voice, they shall shout for the majesty of Jehovah, they shall cry aloud from the sea.
- Therefore glorify Jehovah in the east, the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel, in the isles of the west.
- From the end of the earth have we heard songs: Glory to the righteous! And I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! The treacherous have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.
- Fear, and the pit, and the snare are upon thee, inhabitant of the land.
- And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the sound 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 on high are open, and the foundations of the earth shake.
- The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is completely dissolved, the earth is violently moved.
- The earth reeleth to and fro like a drunkard, and is shaken like a night hut; and its transgression is heavy upon it; and it falleth and shall not rise again.
