Isaiah 24
4 The earth dries up and withers.
The world wastes away and withers.
The great leaders of the earth waste away.
5 The earth is polluted by those who live on it
because theyโve disobeyed the Lordโs teachings,
violated his laws,
and rejected the everlasting promise.[a]
6 That is why a curse devours the earth,
and its people are punished for their guilt.
That is why those who live on the earth are burned up,
and only a few people are left.
7 New wine dries up, and grapevines waste away.
All happy people groan.
8 Joyful tambourine music stops.
Noisy celebrations cease.
Joyful harp music stops.
9 People no longer drink wine when they sing.
Liquor tastes bad to its drinkers.
10 The ruined city lies desolate.
The entrance to every house is barred shut.
11 People in the streets call for wine.
All joy passes away,
and the earthโs happiness is banished.
12 The city is left in ruins.
Its gate is battered to pieces.
13 That is the way it will be on earth among the nations.
They will be like an olive tree which has been shaken
or like whatโs left after the grape harvest.
14 They raise their voices.
They shout for joy.
From the sea they sing joyfully about Yahwehโs majesty.
15 Honor Yahweh in the east.
Honor the name of Yahweh Elohim of Israel along the coastlands.
16 From the ends of the earth we hear songs of praise
that honor the Righteous One.
But I kept saying,
โIโm wasting away! Iโm wasting away!
How horrible it is for me!
Traitors continue to betray,
and their treachery grows worse and worse.โ
17 Disasters, pits, and traps
are in store for those who live on earth.
18 Whoever flees from news of a disaster will fall into a pit.
Whoever climbs out of that pit will be caught in a trap.
The floodgates in the sky will be opened,
and the foundations of the earth will shake.
19 The earth will be completely broken.
The earth will shake back and forth violently.
The earth will stagger.
20 The earth will stumble like a drunk
and sway like a shack in the wind.
Its disobedience weighs heavy on it.
It will fall and not get up again.
21 On that day Yahweh will punish heavenโs armies in heaven
and earthโs kings on earth.
22 Theyโll be gathered like prisoners in a jail
and locked in prison.
After a long time theyโll be punished.
23 The moon will be embarrassed.
The sun will be ashamed,
because Yahweh Tsebaoth will rule
on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem.
He will be glorious
in the presence of his respected leaders.
