Isaiah 24
24
Judgment on the Earth
1Behold, the Lord lays the earth waste, devastates it, twists its surface, and scatters its inhabitants. 2And the people will be like the priest, the servant like his master, the female servant like her mistress, the buyer like the seller, the lender like the borrower, the creditor like the debtor. 3The earth will be completely laid waste and completely plundered, for the Lord has spoken this word. 4The earth dries up and crumbles away, the mainland dries out and crumbles away, the exalted of the people of the earth dwindle. 5The earth is also defiled #24:5 Lit underby its inhabitants, for they violated laws, altered statutes, and broke the everlasting covenant. 6Therefore, a curse devours the earth, and those who live on it suffer for their guilt. Therefore, the inhabitants of the earth decrease in number, and few people are left.
7¶The new wine mourns,
The vine decays,
All the joyful-hearted sigh.
8The joy of tambourines ceases,
The noise of revelers stops,
The joy of the harp ceases.
9They do not drink wine with song;
Intoxicating drink is bitter to those who drink it.
10The city of chaos is broken down;
Every house is shut up so that no one may enter.
11There is an outcry in the streets concerning the wine;
All joy #24:11 Lit is darkenedturns to gloom.
The joy of the earth is banished.
12Desolation is left in the city
And the gate is battered to ruins.
13For so it will be in the midst of the earth among the peoples,
As the #24:13 Lit strikingshaking of an olive tree,
As the gleanings when the grape harvest is over.
14They raise their voices, they shout for joy;
They cry out from the #24:14 Lit seawest concerning the majesty of the Lord.
15Therefore glorify the Lord in the #24:15 Lit region of lighteast,
The name of the Lord, the God of Israel,
In the #24:15 Or islandscoastlands of the sea.
16From the ends of the earth we hear songs: “Glory to the Righteous One,”
But I say, “#24:16 Meaning uncertainI am finished! I am finished! Woe to me!
The treacherous deal treacherously,
And the treacherous deal very treacherously.”
17Terror and pit and snare
# 24:17 Lit Are upon you Confront you, you inhabitant of the earth.
18Then it will be that the one who flees the sound of terror will fall into the pit,
And the one who #24:18 Lit goes up from the midst ofclimbs out of the pit will be caught in the snare;
For the windows #24:18 Lit from the height; i.e., heavenabove are opened, and the foundations of the earth shake.
19The earth is broken apart,
The earth is split through,
The earth is shaken violently.
20The earth trembles like a heavy drinker
And sways like a hut,
For its wrongdoing is heavy upon it,
And it will fall, never to rise again.
21So it will happen on that day,
That the Lord will punish the rebellious #24:21 Lit hostangels of #24:21 Lit the height in the heightheaven on high,
And the kings of the earth on earth.
22They will be gathered together
Like prisoners in the #24:22 Lit pitdungeon,
And will be confined in prison;
And after many days they will be punished.
23Then the moon will be ashamed and the sun be put to shame,
For the Lord of armies will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,
And His glory will be before His elders.

Isaiah 24
24
The Judgment on the Earth
1Look! Yahweh is about to lay the earth waste
and is about to devastate it,
and he will twist her surface,
and he will scatter her inhabitants.
2And it shall be as with the people, so with the priest;
as with the slave, so with his master;
as with the female slave, 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 one to whom he lends.
3The earth shall be utterly laid waste,
and it shall be utterly plundered,
for Yahweh has spoken this word.
4The earth dries up, it withers;
the world languishes, it withers.
The elevated of the people of the earth languish,
5and the earth is defiled beneath its inhabitants.
For they have transgressed laws;
they have passed by statutes;#Hebrew “statute”
they have broken the everlasting covenant.
6Therefore a curse devours the earth,
and the inhabitants in it suffer for their guilt.
Therefore the inhabitants of the earth burn,
and few men are left.#Literally “he is left a man of smallness”
7The new wine dries up;
the vine languishes.
All the merry of heart sigh;
8the joy of the tambourine has stopped.
The noise of the jubilant has ceased;
the joy of the lyre has stopped.
9They do not drink wine with song;
strong drink is bitter to those who drink it.
10The city of emptiness is broken;
every house is shut so that no one can enter;#Literally “from entering”
11there is an outcry over the wine in the streets.
All joy turns into darkness;#Literally “evening”
the joy of the earth disappears.
12Desolation is left in the city;
the gate is crushed into a state of ruin.
13For it shall be like this in the midst of the earth,
among the nations,
like the beating of an olive tree,
like gleanings when a grape harvest is at an end.
14They lift up their voices;#Hebrew “voice” they sing for joy;
they shout out from the west over the majesty of Yahweh.
15Therefore glorify Yahweh in the east,
the name of Yahweh the God of Israel in the coastlands of the sea.
16We hear songs from the edge#Literally “wing” of the earth:
“Glory to the righteous one!”
But I say, “Ruin to me!
Ruin to me! Woe to me!
The treacherous ones deal treacherously,
and the treacherous ones deal treacherously with treachery!”
17Terror and the pit and the snare are upon you, inhabitants#Hebrew “inhabitant” of the earth!
18And this shall happen:
The one who flees from the sound of the terror shall fall into the pit,
and the one who goes up from inside the pit#Literally “the middle of the pit” shall be caught in the snare,
for the windows from heaven are opened,
and the foundations of the earth tremble.
19The earth is utterly broken;
the earth is torn asunder;
the earth is shaken violently.
20The earth staggers to and fro like the drunkard,
and it sways like a hut,
and its transgression is heavy upon it,
and it falls and does not rise again.
21And this shall happen on that day:
Yahweh will punish the host of heaven in heaven,
and the kings of the earth on the earth.
22And they will be gathered in a gathering, like a prisoner in#Literally “on” a pit.
And they will be shut in#Literally “on” a prison and be punished after#Literally “from” many days.
23And the full moon will be ashamed
and the sun will be ashamed,
for Yahweh of hosts will rule on Mount Zion#Literally “the mountain of Zion” and in Jerusalem,
and before his elders in glory.
