Isaiah 24
24
Judgment on the Earth
1Now the Lord makes the earth empty,
and makes it waste,
and turns it upside down,
and scatters its inhabitants abroad.
2#Hos 4:9; Eze 7:12–13 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 creditor, so with the debtor.
3#Isa 6:11; 24:1 The land shall be utterly emptied,
and utterly despoiled,
for the Lord has spoken this word.
4#Isa 33:9; Hos 4:3 The earth mourns and fades away,
the world languishes and fades away,
the haughty people of the earth languish.
5The earth also is defiled by its inhabitants
because they have transgressed the laws,
violated the ordinances,
broken the everlasting covenant.
6#Zec 5:3–4 Therefore, the curse devours the earth,
and those who dwell in it are held guilty.
Therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned,
and few men are left.
7#Isa 16:10; 16:8 The new wine fails, the vine languishes,
all the merry-hearted sigh.
8#Hos 2:11; Jer 7:34 The joy of tambourines ceases,
the noise of those who rejoice ends,
the joy of the harp ceases.
9#Ecc 9:7; Isa 5:22 They shall not drink wine with song;
strong drink shall be bitter to those who drink it.
10The city of confusion is broken down;
every house is shut up so that no one may come in.
11There is an outcry for wine in the streets,
all joy is turned to gloom,
the joyfulness of the earth is gone.
12Desolation is left in the city,
and the gate is battered to destruction.
13For thus it shall be in the midst of the earth
among the peoples,
as the shaking of an olive tree,
and as the gleaning of grapes when the vintage is done.
14#Isa 54:1 They lift up their voices; they sing for the majesty of the Lord;
they cry aloud from the west.
15#Mal 1:11; Isa 42:4 Therefore glorify the Lord in the east,
even the name of the Lord God of Israel
in the coastlands of the sea.
16#Isa 21:2; 33:1 From the uttermost part of the earth we hear songs,
that is, “Glory to the Righteous One.”
But I say, Woe to me! Woe to me!
Alas for me!
The treacherous deal treacherously;
indeed, the treacherous deal very treacherously.
17#Jer 48:43–44 Terror and the pit and the snare are upon you,
O inhabitant of the earth.
18#Ge 7:11; Ps 18:7 He who flees from the report of disaster
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 shake.
19The earth is utterly broken down,
the earth is split through,
the earth is shaken violently.
20#Isa 19:14; 29:9 The earth reels to and fro like a drunkard,
and it totters like a shack,
and its transgression is heavy upon it,
and it shall fall, never to rise again.
21#Ps 76:12; Isa 10:12 In that day the Lord shall punish
the host of heaven on high
and the kings of the earth on the earth.
22#Zec 9:11 They shall be gathered together,
as prisoners are gathered in the dungeon,
and shall be shut up in the prison,
and after many days they shall be punished.
23#Isa 13:10; 60:19 Then the moon shall be humiliated and the sun ashamed,
when the Lord of Hosts reigns
in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,
and His glory shall be before His elders.

Yeshayah (Isaiah) 24
24
1See, יהוה is making the earth empty and making it waste, and shall overturn its surface, and shall scatter abroad its inhabitants.
2And it shall be – as with the people so with the priest, as with the servant so with his master, as with the female servant so with her mistress, as with the buyer so with the seller, as with the lender so with the borrower, as with the creditor so with the debtor;
3the earth is completely emptied and utterly plundered, for יהוה has spoken this word.
4The earth shall mourn and wither, the world shall languish and wither, the haughty people of the earth shall languish.
5For the earth has been defiled under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the Torot,#Torot - plural of Torah - teaching. changed#See Jer. 23:36 the law, broken the everlasting covenant.#See Isa. 13:9; Isa. 13:11; Isa. 26:21; Isa. 66:24; Mic. 5:15; Zeph. 1:2-18
6Therefore a curse shall consume the earth, and those who dwell in it be punished. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth shall be burned, and few men shall be left.
7The new wine shall fail, the vine shall languish, all those glad at heart shall sigh.
8The joy of the tambourine shall cease, the noise of those who rejoice shall end, the joy of the lyre shall cease.
9No more do they drink wine with a song, strong drink is bitter to those who drink it.
10The deserted city shall be broken down, every house shall be shut, no one enters.
11There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy shall be darkened, the gladness of the earth shall be gone.
12The city is left in ruins, and the gate is stricken with destruction.
13For thus it is to be in the midst of the earth among the peoples, like the shaking of an olive tree, like the gleaning of grapes when the grape harvest is done.
14They lift up their voice, they sing of the excellency of יהוה, they shall cry aloud from the sea.
15Therefore praise יהוה in the east, the Name of יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl in the coastlands of the sea.
16From the ends of the earth we shall hear songs, “Splendour to the Righteous One!” But I say, “I waste away, I waste away! Woe to me! The treacherous betray, with treachery the treacherous betray.”
17Fear and the pit and the snare are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth.
18And it shall be that he who flees from the noise of the fear falls into the pit, and he who comes up from the midst of the pit is caught in the snare. For the windows from on high shall be opened, and the foundations of the earth be shaken.
19The earth shall be utterly broken, the earth shall be completely shattered, the earth shall be fiercely shaken.
20The earth shall stagger like a drunkard. And it shall totter like a hut, and its transgression shall be heavy upon it, and it shall fall, and not rise again.
21And in that day it shall be that יהוה punishes on high the host of exalted ones, and on the earth the sovereigns of the earth.
22And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and be punished after many days.
23And the moon shall blush, and the sun shall be ashamed, for יהוה of hosts shall reign on Mount Tsiyon, and in Yerushalayim,#See Isa. 12:6; Isa. 16:5; Isa. 46:13; Isa. 52:8; Isa. 59:20; Psa. 102:16; Eze. 43:7-9; Joel 3:17; Joel 3:21; Mic. 4:7-9; Zep. 3:14, 15, 16, 17; Zech. 1:16, 17; Zech. 2:10; Zech. 8:3-8; Zech. 14:1- 11; Acts 1:6, 7; Rev. 21 and before His elders, in esteem!
