Isaiah 24:1
New King James Version
Impending Judgment on the Earth
24 Behold, the Lord makes the earth empty and makes it waste,
Distorts its surface
And scatters abroad its inhabitants.
Isaiah 24:3-6
New King James Version
3 The land shall be entirely emptied and utterly plundered,
For the Lord has spoken this word.
4 The earth mourns and fades away,
The world languishes and fades away;
The (A)haughty[a] people of the earth languish.
5 (B)The earth is also defiled under its inhabitants,
Because they have (C)transgressed the laws,
Changed the ordinance,
Broken the (D)everlasting covenant.
6 Therefore (E)the curse has devoured the earth,
And those who dwell in it are [b]desolate.
Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are (F)burned,
And few men are left.

Isaiah 24:18-20
New King James Version
18 And it shall be
That he who flees from the noise of the fear
Shall fall into the pit,
And he who comes up from the midst of the pit
Shall be [a]caught in the snare;
For (A)the windows from on high are open,
And (B)the foundations of the earth are shaken.
19 (C)The earth is violently broken,
The earth is split open,
The earth is shaken exceedingly.
20 The earth shall (D)reel[b] to and fro like a drunkard,
And shall totter like a hut;
Its transgression shall be heavy upon it,
And it will fall, and not rise again.
