Isaiah 10:22-23

22 aFor though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, bonly a remnant of them will return. cDestruction is decreed, overflowing with righteousness. 23For the Lord God of hosts will make a full end, as decreed, in the midst of all the earth.

Isaiah 24

Judgment on the Whole Earth

1 Behold, dthe 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 fAnd 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;
gas with the buyer, so with the seller;
as with the lender, so with the borrower;
has with the creditor, so with the debtor.
3 iThe earth shall be utterly empty and utterly plundered;
jfor the Lord has spoken this word.
4 kThe earth mourns and withers;
the world languishes and withers;
the highest people of the earth languish.
5The earth lies ldefiled
under its inhabitants;
for mthey have transgressed the laws,
violated the statutes,
broken the everlasting covenant.
6Therefore na curse devours the earth,
and its inhabitants osuffer for their guilt;
therefore the inhabitants of the earth are scorched,
and few men are left.
7 pThe wine mourns,
the vine languishes,
all the merry-hearted sigh.
8 qThe mirth of the tambourines is stilled,
the noise of the jubilant has ceased,
the mirth of the lyre is stilled.
9No more do they drink wine rwith singing;
strong drink is bitter to those who drink it.
10 sThe wasted city is broken down;
tevery house is shut up so that none can enter.
11 uThere is an outcry in the streets for lack of wine;
vall joy has grown dark;
the gladness of the earth is banished.
12Desolation is left in the city;
the gates are battered into ruins.
13For thus it shall be in the midst of the earth
among the nations,
was when an olive tree is beaten,
as at the gleaning when the grape harvest is done.
14 They lift up their voices, they sing for joy;
over the majesty of the Lord they shout from the west.
Hebrew  from the sea

15 yTherefore in the east
Hebrew  in the realm of light
give glory to the Lord;
in the coastlands of the sea, give glory to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.
16 aaFrom the ends of the earth we hear songs of praise,
of glory to abthe Righteous One.
But I say, “I waste away,
I waste away. Woe is me!
For acthe traitors have betrayed,
with betrayal the traitors have betrayed.”
17 adTerror and the pit and the snare
The Hebrew words for  terror,  pit, and  snare sound alike

are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth!
18 afHe who flees at the sound of the terror
shall fall into the pit,
and he who climbs out of the pit
shall be caught in the snare.
For agthe windows of heaven are opened,
and ahthe foundations of the earth tremble.
19The earth is utterly broken,
the earth is split apart,
the earth is violently shaken.
20The earth aistaggers like a drunken man;
it sways like a hut;
ajits transgression lies heavy upon it,
and it falls, and will not rise again.
21 On that day the Lord will punish
the host of heaven, in heaven,
and akthe kings of the earth, on the earth.
22 alThey will be gathered together
as prisoners in a pit;
they will be shut up in a prison,
and after many days amthey will be punished.
23 anThen the moon will be confounded
and the sun ashamed,
for aothe Lord of hosts reigns
on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,
and his glory will be before his elders.

Isaiah 32:12-14

12 apBeat your breasts for the pleasant fields,
for the fruitful vine,
13 aqfor the soil of my people
growing up in thorns and briers,
aryes, for all the joyous houses
in the exultant city.
14For the palace is forsaken,
the populous city deserted;
the hill and the watchtower
will become dens forever,
asa joy of wild donkeys,
a pasture of flocks;

Jeremiah 25:11

11 atThis whole land shall become a ruin and a waste, and authese nations shall serve the king of Babylon avseventy years.

Daniel 9:26-27

26And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall awbe cut off and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince who is to come axshall destroy the city and the sanctuary. ayIts
Or His
end shall come with a flood, baand to the end there shall be war. bbDesolations are decreed.
27And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week,
Or seven; twice in this verse
and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. bdAnd on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until bethe decreed end is poured out on the desolator.”

Luke 21:24

24They will fall by the edge of the sword and bfbe led captive among all nations, and bgJerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles, bhuntil the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
