Isaiah 24:1-5

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.

Isaiah 34:4-10

4 ^kAll the host of heaven shall rot away,
and the skies roll up like a scroll.
All their host shall fall,
as leaves fall from the vine,
like leaves falling from the fig tree.
5 For my sword has drunk its fill in the heavens;
behold, it descends for judgment upon ^lEdom,
upon the people ^mI have devoted to destruction.
6The Lord has a sword; it is sated with blood;
it is gorged with fat,
with the blood of lambs and goats,
with the fat of the kidneys of rams.
ⁿFor the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah,
a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 ^oWild oxen shall ^pfall with them,
and ^qyoung steers with ^rthe mighty bulls.
Their land shall drink its fill of blood,
and their soil shall be gorged with fat.
8 ^sFor the Lord has a day of vengeance,
a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
9 ^tAnd the streams of Edom ▼

▼Hebrew her streams

shall be turned into pitch,
and her soil into sulfur;
her land shall become burning pitch.
10Night and day ^vit shall not be quenched;
^wits smoke shall go up forever.
^xFrom generation to generation it shall lie waste;
none shall pass through it forever and ever.

Jeremiah 4:23-28

23 I looked on the earth, and behold, it was ^ywithout form and void;
^zand to the heavens, and they had no light.
24I looked on ^aathe mountains, and behold, they were quaking,
and all the hills moved to and fro.
25 ^abI looked, and behold, there was no man,
and all the birds of the air had fled.
26I looked, and behold, the ^acfruitful land was a desert,
and all its cities were laid in ruins
before the Lord, before ^adhis fierce anger.
27For thus says the Lord, “The whole land shall be a desolation; ^aeyet I will not make a full end.

28 ^af“For this the earth shall mourn,
^agand the heavens above be dark;
for I have spoken; I have purposed;
^ahI have not relented, nor will I turn back.”

Nahum 1:5

5 ^aiThe mountains quake before him;
^ajthe hills melt;
the earth heaves before him,
^akthe world and all who dwell in it.

Habakkuk 3:6

6He stood ^aland measured the earth;
he looked and shook the nations;
then the ^ameternal mountains ^anwere scattered;
the everlasting hills sank low.
His were ^aothe everlasting ways.

Matthew 24:3

Signs of the End of the Age

3As he sat on ^apthe Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him ^aqprivately, saying, “Tell us, ^arwhen will these things be, and what will be the sign of your ^ascoming and of ^atthe end of the age?”

Revelation of John 20:11

Judgment Before the Great White Throne

11Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence ^auearth and sky fled away, and ^avno place was found for them.
