Book 23 : ISAIAH - Chapter 024
024:001
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
024:002
The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for
the LORD hath spoken this word
024:003
The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and
fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish
024:004
The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof;
because they have transgressed the laws, changed the
ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant
024:005
Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that
dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the
earth are burned, and few men left
024:006
The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the
merryhearted do sigh
024:007
The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice
endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth
024:008
They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be
bitter to them that drink it
024:009
The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up,
that no man may come in
024:010
There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is
darkened, the mirth of the land is gone
024:011
In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with
destruction
024:012
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
024:013
They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the
majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea
024:014
Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of
the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea
024:015
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;
yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously
024:016
Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant
of the earth
024:017
And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise
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 from on high are open, and the foundations of the
earth do shake
024:018
The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean
dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly
024:019
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
024:020
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall
punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the
kings of the earth upon the earth
024:021
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
024:022
Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when
the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem,
and before his ancients gloriously
