Isaiah 24:10–18
10The confused city is broken down. Every house is shut up, that no man may come in.↗
11There is a crying in the streets because of the wine. All joy is darkened. The mirth of the land is gone.↗
12The city is left in desolation, and the gate is struck with destruction.↗
13For it will be so within the earth among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive tree, as the gleanings when the vintage is done.↗
14These shall lift up their voice. They will shout for the majesty of the LORD. They cry aloud from the sea.↗
15Therefore glorify the LORD in the east, even the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea!↗
16From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs. Glory to the righteous! But I said, “I pine away! I pine away! woe is me!” The treacherous have dealt treacherously. Yes, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.↗
17Fear, the pit, and the snare are on you who inhabit the earth.↗
18It will happen that he who flees from the noise of the fear will fall into the pit; and he who comes up out of the middle of the pit will be taken in the snare; for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble.↗
