Isaiah 24:14-23

View Full Chapter

14They raise their voices, they shout for joy; from the west they acclaim the LORD ’s majesty.

15Therefore in the east give glory to the LORD ; exalt the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea.

16From the ends of the earth we hear singing: “Glory to the Righteous One.” But I said, “I waste away, I waste away! Woe to me! The treacherous betray! With treachery the treacherous betray!”

17Terror and pit and snare await you, people of the earth.

18Whoever flees at the sound of terror will fall into a pit; whoever climbs out of the pit will be caught in a snare. The floodgates of the heavens are opened, the foundations of the earth shake.

19The earth is broken up, the earth is split asunder, the earth is violently shaken.

20The earth reels like a drunkard, it sways like a hut in the wind; so heavy upon it is the guilt of its rebellion that it falls—never to rise again.

21In that day the LORD will punish the powers in the heavens above and the kings on the earth below.

22They will be herded together like prisoners bound in a dungeon; they will be shut up in prison and be punished Or released after many days. 23The moon will be dismayed, the sun ashamed; for the LORD Almighty will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before its elders—with great glory.
