Isaiah 24  Legacy Standard Bible

⁷ The ^(I)new wine mourns;
The vine languishes;
All the glad of heart sigh.
⁸ The ^(J)joy of tambourines ceases;
The rumbling of those exulting stops;
The joy of the harp ceases.
⁹ They do not drink wine with song;
^(K)Strong drink is ^(L)bitter to those who drink it.
¹⁰ The ^(M)city of chaos is broken down;
^(N)Every house is shut up so that none may enter.
¹¹ There is an ^(O)outcry in the streets concerning the wine;
^(P)All gladness ^[b]turns to gloom.
The joy of the earth is taken away into exile.
¹² Desolation remains in the city,
And the ^(Q)gate is struck down to ruins.
¹³ For ^(R)thus it will be in the midst of the earth among the peoples,
As the ^[c]shaking of an olive tree,
As the gleanings when the grape harvest is over.
^14 (S)They lift up their voices, they shout for joy;
They cry out from the ^[d]west concerning the majesty of Yahweh.
¹⁵ Therefore ^(T)glorify Yahweh in the ^[e]east,
The ^(U)name of Yahweh, the God of Israel,
In the ^[f](V)coastlands of the sea.
¹⁶ From the ^(W)ends of the earth we hear songs, “^(X)Glory to the Righteous One,”
But I say, “^[g](Y)I waste away! ^[h]I waste away! Woe is me!
The ^(Z)treacherous deal treacherously,
And the treacherous deal very treacherously.”
^17 (AA)Panic and pit and pitfall
Are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth.
¹⁸ Then it will be that he who flees the sound of panic will fall into the pit,
And he who ^[i]climbs out of the pit will be caught in the pitfall;
For the ^(AB)windows ^[j]above are opened, and the ^(AC)foundations of the earth quake.
^19 (AD)The earth is broken asunder;
The earth is ^(AE)split through;
The earth is shaken violently.
²⁰ The earth ^(AF)reels to and fro like a drunkard
And it totters like a ^[k]shack,
For its ^(AG)transgression is heavy upon it,
And it will fall, ^(AH)never to rise again.
²¹ So it will be in that day,
That Yahweh will ^(AI)punish the host of heights on high,
And the ^(AJ)kings of the earth on earth.
²² They will be gathered together
Like ^(AK)prisoners in the ^[l]pit,
And will be confined in prison;
And after many days they will ^(AL)be punished.
²³ Then the ^(AM)moon will be humiliated and the sun ashamed,
For ^(AN)Yahweh of hosts will reign on ^(AO)Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,
And His glory will be before His elders.
