The earth is polluted by those who live on it
    because they’ve disobeyed the Lord’s teachings,
        violated his laws,
            and rejected the everlasting promise.[a]
That is why a curse devours the earth,
    and its people are punished for their guilt.
    That is why those who live on the earth are burned up,
    and only a few people are left.

Footnotes

  1. Isaiah 24:5 Or “covenant.”

19 The earth will be completely broken.
    The earth will shake back and forth violently.
    The earth will stagger.
20 The earth will stumble like a drunk
    and sway like a shack in the wind.
    Its disobedience weighs heavy on it.
    It will fall and not get up again.

21 On that day Yahweh will punish heaven’s armies in heaven
    and earth’s kings on earth.
22 They’ll be gathered like prisoners in a jail
    and locked in prison.
        After a long time they’ll be punished.
23 The moon will be embarrassed.
    The sun will be ashamed,
        because Yahweh Tsebaoth will rule
            on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem.
                He will be glorious
    in the presence of his respected leaders.
