Isaiah 24:1-7
Judgment on the Whole Earth
1 Behold, athe Lord will empty the earth ▼▼Or land; also throughout this chapter
and make it desolate,and he will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants.
2 cAnd it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest;
as with the slave, so with his master;
as with the maid, so with her mistress;
das with the buyer, so with the seller;
as with the lender, so with the borrower;
eas with the creditor, so with the debtor.
3 fThe earth shall be utterly empty and utterly plundered;
gfor the Lord has spoken this word.
4 hThe earth mourns and withers;
the world languishes and withers;
the highest people of the earth languish.
5The earth lies idefiled
under its inhabitants;
for jthey have transgressed the laws,
violated the statutes,
broken the everlasting covenant.
6Therefore ka curse devours the earth,
and its inhabitants lsuffer for their guilt;
therefore the inhabitants of the earth are scorched,
and few men are left.
7 mThe wine mourns,
the vine languishes,
all the merry-hearted sigh.
Jeremiah 6:11
11Therefore I am full of the wrath of the Lord;nI am weary of holding it in.
o“Pour it out upon the children in the street,
and upon the gatherings of young men, also;
pboth husband and wife qshall be taken,
the elderly and the very aged.
Jeremiah 7:20
20Therefore thus says the Lord God: Behold, rmy anger and my wrath will be poured out on this place, upon man and beast, upon the trees of the field and the fruit of the ground; sit will burn and not be quenched.”Jeremiah 12:12
12Upon all the bare heights in the desertdestroyers have come,
for the sword of the Lord devours
from one end of the land to the other;
no flesh has peace.
