Isaiah 24:20-22
New King James Version
20 The earth shall (A)reel[a] to and fro like a drunkard,
And shall totter like a hut;
Its transgression shall be heavy upon it,
And it will fall, and not rise again.
21 It shall come to pass in that day
That the Lord will punish on high the host of exalted ones,
And on the earth (B)the kings of the earth.
22 They will be gathered together,
As prisoners are gathered in the [b]pit,
And will be shut up in the prison;
After many days they will be punished.

English Standard Version
20 The earth (A)staggers like a drunken man;
it sways like a hut;
(B)its 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 (C)the kings of the earth, on the earth.
22 (D)They will be gathered together
as prisoners in a pit;
they will be shut up in a prison,
and after many days (E)they will be punished.
Isaiah 24:20-22
King James Version
20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.
