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.
¹⁹The earth is utterly broken,
    the earth is split apart,
    the earth is violently shaken.
²⁰The 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.
