Isaiah 24:17-23
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
17 Terror, the pit, and the snare
are upon you, O inhabitants of the earth!(A)
18 Whoever flees at the sound of the terror
shall fall into the pit,
and whoever climbs out of the pit
shall be caught in the snare.
For the windows of heaven are opened,
and the foundations of the earth tremble.(B)
19 The earth is utterly broken;
the earth is torn apart;
the earth is violently shaken.(C)
20 The earth staggers like a drunkard;
it sways like a hut;
its transgression lies heavy upon it,
and it falls and will not rise again.(D)
21 On that day the Lord will punish
the host of heaven in heaven
and on earth the kings of the earth.(E)
22 They will be gathered together
like prisoners in a pit;
they will be shut up in a prison,
and after many days they will be punished.(F)
23 Then the moon will be abashed
and the sun ashamed,
for the Lord of hosts will reign
on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,
and before his elders he will be glorified.(G)
