Isaiah 24:16-18

The Voice

¹⁶ Listen and you can hear the merry voices from the corners of the earth
    singing, “Honor to the Righteous One.” But as for me,
I say, “I am wasting away, wasting away.
    Woe is me!
I can see treachery, treachery, and it wears me down.
    Traitors deal in treachery.”

¹⁷ Terror, pit, and trap face you,
    you people of the earth.
¹⁸ And whoever runs from the sound of terror will only fall into a pit;
    when he climbs out of the pit, he’ll run and be caught in a trap.
The sky above will open up
    and the ground below will quake—nothing will be safe.
