  1. Isaiah 24:5 Lit under

Vav

And He has violently treated His [a]tabernacle like a garden booth;
He has (A)brought His appointed [b]meeting place to ruin.
Yahweh has (B)caused to be forgotten
The appointed time and sabbath in Zion,
And He has (C)spurned king and priest
In the indignation of His anger.

He has abandoned His sanctuary;
He (E)has delivered into the hand of the enemy
The walls of her palaces.
They have made a (F)noise in the house of Yahweh
As in the day of an appointed time.
