024:005 The earth also is polluted under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, and broken the everlasting covenant. 024:006 Therefore the curse has devoured the earth, and those who dwell therein are found guilty. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left. 024:007 The new wine mourns. The vine languishes. All the merry-hearted sigh. 024:008 The mirth of tambourines ceases. The sound of those who rejoice ends. The joy of the harp ceases. 024:009 They will not drink wine with a song. Strong drink will be bitter to those who drink it. 024:010 The confused city is broken down. Every house is shut up, that no man may come in. 024:011 There is a crying in the streets because of the wine. All joy is darkened. The mirth of the land is gone. 024:012 The city is left in desolation, and the gate is struck with destruction. 024:013 For it will be so in the midst of the earth among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive tree, as the gleanings when the vintage is done. 024:014 These shall lift up their voice. They will shout for the majesty of Yahweh. They cry aloud from the sea. 024:015 Therefore glorify Yahweh in the east, even the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea! 024:016 From 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. 024:017 Fear, the pit, and the snare, are on you who inhabitant the earth. 024:018 It 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 midst of the pit will be taken in the snare; for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble. 024:019 The earth is utterly broken. The earth is torn apart. The earth is shaken violently. 024:020 The 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. 024:021 It shall happen in that day that Yahweh will punish the army of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth on the earth. 024:022 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. 024:023 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for Yahweh of Armies will reign on Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem; and before his elders will be glory. 025:001 Yahweh, you are my God. I will exalt you! I will praise your name, for you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago, in complete faithfulness and truth.
