Isaiah 24:16-18

Good News Translation

¹⁶ From the most distant parts of the world we will hear songs in praise of Israel, the righteous nation.

But there is no hope for me! I am wasting away! Traitors continue to betray, and their treachery grows worse and worse. ¹⁷ Listen to me, everyone! There are terrors, pits, and traps waiting for you. ¹⁸ Anyone who tries to escape from the terror will fall in a pit, and anyone who escapes from the pit will be caught in a trap. Torrents of rain will pour from the sky, and earth's foundations will shake.
