Isaiah 24:14-23

Common English Bible

¹⁴ They raise their voice;
    they sing with joy;
    from the west they will shout about the Lord’s majesty.
¹⁵ Therefore, in the east honor the Lord;
    in the islands of the sea,
    the name of the Lord God of Israel!
¹⁶ From the ends of the earth we have heard songs:
    “Glory to the righteous one!”
But I say, “I waste away; I waste away;
    I’m doomed!
    Betrayers betray; treacherously betrayers betray.”

¹⁷ Terror, trench, and trap are upon you,
    ruler of the earth!
¹⁸ Whoever flees from the sound of terror will fall into the trench;
    whoever climbs from the trench will be caught in the trap.

Heaven’s windows will open, and the earth’s foundations will quake.
¹⁹ The earth is shattering, shattering;
    the earth is shaking, shaking;
    the earth is teetering, tottering.
²⁰ The earth trembles like a drunk
    and shudders like a hut;
    its rebellion weighs heavy upon it;
    it will fall, no more to rise.
