Isaiah 24:14-23
English Standard Version
Isaiah 24:14-23
English Standard Version
14 They lift up their voices, they sing for joy;
over the majesty of the Lord they shout from the west.[a]
15 (A)Therefore in the east[b] give glory to the Lord;
in the coastlands of the sea, give glory to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.
16 (B)From the ends of the earth we hear songs of praise,
of glory to (C)the Righteous One.
But I say, “I waste away,
I waste away. Woe is me!
For (D)the traitors have betrayed,
with betrayal the traitors have betrayed.”
17 (E)Terror and the pit and the snare[c]
are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth!
18 (F)He who flees at the sound of the terror
shall fall into the pit,
and he who climbs out of the pit
shall be caught in the snare.
For (G)the windows of heaven are opened,
and (H)the foundations of the earth tremble.
19 The earth is utterly broken,
the earth is split apart,
the earth is violently shaken.
20 The earth (I)staggers like a drunken man;
it sways like a hut;
(J)its transgression lies heavy upon it,
and it falls, and will not rise again.
21 On that day the Lord will punish
the host of heaven, in heaven,
and (K)the kings of the earth, on the earth.
22 (L)They will be gathered together
as prisoners in a pit;
they will be shut up in a prison,
and after many days (M)they will be punished.
23 (N)Then the moon will be confounded
and the sun ashamed,
for (O)the Lord of hosts reigns
on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,
and his glory will be before his elders.

Isaiah 24:14-23
King James Version
14 They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the Lord, they shall cry aloud from the sea.
15 Wherefore glorify ye the Lord in the fires, even the name of the Lord God of Israel in the isles of the sea.
16 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.
17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.
18 And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.
19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.
20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.
23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the Lord of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.
