Verse
Isaiah - ch 24 v 1 - 20
- Behold the Lord shall lay waste the earth, and shall strip it, and shall afflict the face thereof, and scatter abroad the inhabitants thereof.
- And it shall be as with the people, so with the priest: and as with the servant, so with his master: as with the handmaid, so with her mistress: as with the buyer, so with the seller: as with the lender, so with the borrower: as with him that calleth for his money, so with him that oweth.
- With desolation shall the earth be laid waste, and it shall be utterly spoiled: for the Lord hath spoken this word.
- The earth mourned, and faded away, and is weakened: the world faded away, the height of the people of the earth is weakened.
- And the earth is infected by the in- habitants thereof: because they have transgressed the laws, they have changed the ordinance, they have broken the everlasting covenant.
- Therefore shall a curse devour the earth, and the inhabitants thereof shall sin: and therefore they that dwell therein shall be mad, and few men shall be left.
- The vintage hath mourned, the vine hath languished away, all the merryhearted have sighed.
- The mirth of timbrels hath ceased, the noise of them that rejoice is ended, the melody of the harp is silent.
- They shall not drink wine with a song: the drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.
- The city of vanity is broken down, every house is shut up, no man cometh in.
- There shall be a crying for wine in the streets: all mirth is forsaken: the joy of the earth is gone away.
- Desolation is left in the city, and calamity shall oppress the gates.
- For it shall be thus in the midst of the earth, in the midst of the people, as if a few olives, that remain, should be shaken out of the olive tree: or grapes, when the vintage is ended.
- These shall lift up their voice, and shall give praise: when the Lord shall be glorified, they shall make a joyful noise from the sea.
- Therefore glorify ye the Lord in instruction: the name of the Lord God of Israel in the islands of the sea.
- From the ends of the earth we have heard praises, the glory of the just one. And I said: My secret to myself, my secret to myself, woe is me: the prevaricators have prevaricated, and with the prevarication of transgressors they have prevaricated.
- Fear, and the pit, and the snare are upon thee, O thou inhabitant of the earth.
- And it shall come to pass, that he that shall flee from the noise of the fear, shall fall into the pit: and he that shall rid himself out of the pit, shall be taken in the snare: for the flood-gates from on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth shall be shaken.
- With breaking shall the earth be broken, with crushing shall the earth be crushed, with trembling shall the earth be moved.
- With shaking shall the earth be shaken as a drunken man, and shall be removed as the tent of one night: and the iniquity thereof shall be heavy upon it, and it shall fell, and not rise again.
