Isaiah 24:14-20
The Message
Isaiah 24:14-20
The Message
14-16 But there are some who will break into glad song.
Out of the west they’ll shout of God’s majesty.
Yes, from the east God’s glory will ascend.
Every island of the sea
Will broadcast God’s fame,
the fame of the God of Israel.
From the four winds and the seven seas we hear the singing:
“All praise to the Righteous One!”
16-20 But I said, “That’s all well and good for somebody,
but all I can see is doom, doom, and more doom.”
All of them at one another’s throats,
yes, all of them at one another’s throats.
Terror and pits and booby traps
are everywhere, whoever you are.
If you run from the terror,
you’ll fall into the pit.
If you climb out of the pit,
you’ll get caught in the trap.
Chaos pours out of the skies.
The foundations of earth are crumbling.
Earth is smashed to pieces,
earth is ripped to shreds,
earth is wobbling out of control,
Earth staggers like a drunk,
sways like a shack in a high wind.
Its piled-up sins are too much for it.
It collapses and won’t get up again.
Isaiah 24:14-20
New International Version
Isaiah 24:14-20
New International Version
14 They raise their voices, they shout for joy;(A)
from the west(B) they acclaim the Lord’s majesty.
15 Therefore in the east(C) give glory(D) to the Lord;
exalt(E) the name(F) of the Lord, the God of Israel,
in the islands(G) of the sea.
16 From the ends of the earth(H) we hear singing:(I)
“Glory(J) to the Righteous One.”(K)
But I said, “I waste away, I waste away!(L)
Woe(M) to me!
The treacherous(N) betray!
With treachery the treacherous betray!(O)”
17 Terror(P) and pit and snare(Q) await you,
people of the earth.(R)
18 Whoever flees(S) at the sound of terror
will fall into a pit;(T)
whoever climbs out of the pit
will be caught in a snare.(U)
The floodgates of the heavens(V) are opened,
the foundations of the earth shake.(W)
19 The earth is broken up,(X)
the earth is split asunder,(Y)
the earth is violently shaken.
20 The earth reels like a drunkard,(Z)
it sways like a hut(AA) in the wind;
so heavy upon it is the guilt of its rebellion(AB)
that it falls(AC)—never to rise again.(AD)
