Isaiah 24:18

Verse 18 of 23. The 24th of 66 chapters in Isaiah, in The Major Prophets.

14These shall lift up their voice. They will shout for the majesty of the LORD. They cry aloud from the sea.

15Therefore glorify the LORD in the east, even the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea!

16From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs. Glory to the righteous! But I said, “I pine away! I pine away! woe is me!” The treacherous have dealt treacherously. Yes, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.

17Fear, the pit, and the snare are on you who inhabit the earth.

18It will happen that he who flees from the noise of the fear will fall into the pit; and he who comes up out of the middle of the pit will be taken in the snare; for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble.

19The earth is utterly broken. The earth is torn apart. The earth is shaken violently.

20The earth will stagger like a drunken man, and will sway back and forth like a hammock. Its disobedience will be heavy on it, and it will fall and not rise again.

21It will happen in that day that the LORD will punish the army of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth on the earth.

22They will be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and will be shut up in the prison; and after many days they will be visited.
