ASV_Strong : Isaiah 24
1. Behold[H3068], Jehovah maketh the earth[H776] empty[H1238], and maketh it waste[H1110], and turneth[H5753] it upside down[H6440], and scattereth abroad[H6327] the inhabitants thereof[H3427].
2. And it shall be[H5971], as with the people, so with the priest[H3548]; as with the servant[H5650], so with his master[H113]; as with the maid[H8198], so with her mistress[H1404]; as with the buyer[H7069], so with the seller[H4376]; as with the creditor[H3867], so with the debtor[H3867]; as with the taker of interest[H5383], so[H834] with the giver of interest to him[H5378].
3. The earth[H776] shall be utterly[H1238] emptied[H1238], and utterly[H962] laid waste[H962]; for Jehovah[H3068] hath spoken[H1696] this word[H1697].
4. The earth[H776] mourneth[H56] and fadeth away[H5034], the world[H8398] languisheth[H535] and fadeth away[H5034], the lofty[H4791] people[H5971] of the earth[H776] do languish[H535].
5. The earth[H776] also is polluted[H2610] under the inhabitants[H3427] thereof[H5674]; because they have transgressed the laws[H8451], violated[H2498] the statutes[H2706], broken[H6565] the everlasting[H5769] covenant[H1285].
6. Therefore hath the curse[H423] devoured[H398] the earth[H776], and they that dwell[H3427] therein are found guilty[H816]: therefore the inhabitants[H3427] of the earth[H776] are burned[H2787], and few[H4213] men[H582] left[H7604].
7. The new wine[H8492] mourneth[H56], the vine[H1612] languisheth[H535], all the merry-hearted[H8056] do sigh[H584].
8. The mirth[H4885] of tabrets[H8596] ceaseth[H7673], the noise[H7588] of them that rejoice[H5947] endeth[H2308], the joy[H4885] of the harp[H3658] ceaseth[H7673].
9. They shall not drink[H8354] wine[H3196] with a song[H7892]; strong drink[H7941] shall be bitter[H4843] to them that drink it[H8354].
10. The waste[H8414] city[H7151] is broken down[H7665]; every house[H1004] is shut up[H5462], that no man may come in[H935].
11. There is a crying[H6682] in the streets[H2351] because of the wine[H3196]; all joy[H8057] is darkened[H6150], the mirth[H4885] of the land[H776] is gone[H1540].
12. In the city[H5892] is left[H7604] desolation[H8047], and the gate[H8179] is smitten[H3807] with destruction[H7591].
13. For thus shall it be in the midst[H7130] of the earth[H776] among[H8432] the peoples[H5971], as the shaking[H5363] of an olive-tree[H2132], as the gleanings[H5955] when the vintage[H1210] is done[H3615].
14. These shall lift up[H5375] their voice[H6963], they shall shout[H7442]; for the majesty[H1347] of Jehovah[H3068] they cry aloud[H6670] from the sea[H3220].
15. Wherefore glorify[H3513] ye Jehovah[H3068] in the east[H217], even the name[H8034] of Jehovah[H3068], the God[H430] of Israel[H3478], in the isles[H339] of the sea[H3220].
16. From the uttermost part[H3671] of the earth[H776] have we heard[H8085] songs[H2158]: Glory[H6643] to the righteous[H6662]. But I said[H559], I pine[H7334] away[H7334], I pine away[H188], woe is me[H898]! the treacherous have dealt treacherously[H898]; yea[H898], the treacherous have dealt very[H899] treacherously[H898].
17. Fear[H6343], and the pit[H6354], and the snare[H6341], are upon thee[H3427], O inhabitant of the earth[H776].
18. And it shall come to pass[H5127], that he who fleeth from the noise[H6963] of the fear[H6343] shall fall[H5307] into the pit[H6354]; and he that cometh up[H5927] out of the midst[H8432] of the pit[H6354] shall be taken[H3920] in the snare[H6341]: for the windows[H699] on high[H4791] are opened[H6605], and the foundations[H4146] of the earth[H776] tremble[H7493].
19. The earth[H776] is utterly[H7489] broken[H7489], the earth[H776] is rent[H6565] asunder[H6565], the earth[H776] is shaken[H4131] violently[H4131].
20. The earth[H776] shall stagger[H5128] like a drunken[H7910] man[H5128], and shall sway to and fro[H5110] like a hammock[H4412]; and the transgression[H6588] thereof shall be heavy[H3513] upon it[H5307], and it shall fall, and not rise[H6965] again[H3254].
21. And it shall come to pass in that day[H3117], that Jehovah[H3068] will punish[H6485] the host[H6635] of the high ones[H4791] on high[H4791], and the kings[H4428] of the earth[H127] upon the earth[H127].
22. And they shall be gathered together[H622], as prisoners[H616] are gathered[H626] in the pit[H953], and shall be shut up[H5462] in the prison[H4525]; and after many[H7230] days[H3117] shall they be visited[H6485].
23. Then the moon[H3842] shall be confounded[H2659], and the sun[H2535] ashamed[H954]; for Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635] will reign[H4427] in mount[H2022] Zion[H6726], and in Jerusalem[H3389]; and before his elders[H2205] shall be glory[H3519].
