Isaiah 24:12-14
New English Translation
12 The city is left in ruins;[a]
the gate is reduced to rubble.[b]
13 This is what will happen throughout[c] the earth,
among the nations.
It will be like when they beat an olive tree,
and just a few olives are left at the end of the harvest.[d]
14 They[e] lift their voices and shout joyfully;
they praise[f] the majesty of the Lord in the west.
