Isaiah:24:1-8
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Behold ,
the LORD maketh the earth empty ,
and maketh it waste ,
and turneth it upside down ,
and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof .
*
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 .
*
The land shall be utterly emptied ,
and utterly spoiled :
for the LORD hath spoken this word .
*
The earth mourneth and fadeth away ,
the world languisheth and fadeth away ,
the haughty people of the earth do languish .
*
The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof ;
because they have transgressed the laws ,
changed the ordinance ,
broken the everlasting covenant .
*
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 .
*
The new wine mourneth ,
the vine languisheth ,
all the merryhearted sameach #
do sigh .
*
The mirth of tabrets ceaseth ,
the noise of them that rejoice endeth ,
the joy of the harp ceaseth .
