Isaiah 24

<< Isaiah 24 >>
King James Bible with Strong's Numbers		 
1 Behold the LORD maketh the earth empty and maketh it waste and turneth it upside down and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof 2 And it shall be as with the people so with the priest as with the servant so with his master as with the maid so with her mistress as with the buyer so with the seller as with the lender so with the borrower as with the taker of usury so with the giver of usury to him 3 The land shall be utterly emptied and utterly spoiled for the LORD hath spoken this word 4 The earth mourneth and fadeth away the world languisheth and fadeth away the haughty people of the earth do languish 5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof because they have transgressed the laws changed the ordinance broken the everlasting covenant 6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth and they that dwell therein are desolate therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned and few men left

7 The new wine mourneth the vine languisheth all the merryhearted __ do sigh

8 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth the noise of them that rejoice endeth the joy of the harp ceaseth

9 They shall not drink wine with a song strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it

10 The city of confusion is broken down every house is shut up that no man may come in

11 There is a crying for wine in the streets all joy is darkened the mirth of the land is gone

12 In the city is left desolation and the gate is smitten with destruction

13 When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done

14 They shall lift up their voice they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD they shall cry aloud from the sea

15 Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea

16 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs even glory to the righteous But I said My leanness my leanness woe unto me the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously yea the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously

17 Fear and the pit and the snare are upon thee O inhabitant of the earth

18 And it shall come to pass that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare for the windows from on high are open and the foundations of the earth do shake

19 The earth is utterly broken down the earth is clean dissolved the earth is moved exceedingly

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

23 Then the moon shall be confounded and the sun ashamed when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion and in Jerusalem and before his ancients gloriously
