Isaiah 24:16-20
English Standard Version
16 (A)From the ends of the earth we hear songs of praise,
of glory to (B)the Righteous One.
But I say, “I waste away,
I waste away. Woe is me!
For (C)the traitors have betrayed,
with betrayal the traitors have betrayed.”
17 (D)Terror and the pit and the snare[a]
are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth!
18 (E)He 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 (F)the windows of heaven are opened,
and (G)the foundations of the earth tremble.
19 The earth is utterly broken,
the earth is split apart,
the earth is violently shaken.
20 The earth (H)staggers like a drunken man;
it sways like a hut;
(I)its transgression lies heavy upon it,
and it falls, and will not rise again.
