The Lord Will Punish the Earth

24The LORD is going to devastate the earth and leave it desolate. He will twist the earth's surface and scatter its people.H3068H776H1238H1110H5753H6440H6327H3427
2Everyone will meet the same fate - the priests and the people, slaves and masters, buyers and sellers, lenders and borrowers, rich and poor.H5971H3548H5650H113H8198H1404H7069H4376H3867H3867H5383H834H5378
3The earth will lie shattered and ruined. The LORD has spoken and it will be done.H776H1238H1238H962H962H3068H1696H1697
4The earth dries up and withers; the whole world grows weak; both earth and sky decay.H776H56H5034H8398H535H5034H4791H5971H776H535
5The people have defiled the earth by breaking God's laws and by violating the covenant he made to last forever.H776H2610H3427H5674H8451H2498H2706H6565H5769H1285
6So God has pronounced a curse on the earth. Its people are paying for what they have done. Fewer and fewer remain alive.H423H398H776H3427H816H3427H776H2787H4213H582H7604
7The grapevines wither, and wine is becoming scarce. Everyone who was once happy is now sad,H8492H56H1612H535H8056H3820H584
8and the joyful music of their harps and drums has ceased.H4885H8596H7673H7588H5947H2308H4885H3658H7673
9There is no more happy singing over wine; no one enjoys its taste any more.H8354H3196H7892H7941H4843H8354
10In the city everything is in chaos, and people lock themselves in their houses for safety.H7151H8414H7665H1004H5462H935
11People shout in the streets because there is no more wine. Happiness is gone forever; it has been banished from the land.H6682H3196H2351H8057H6150H4885H776H1540
12The city is in ruins, and its gates have been broken down.H5892H7604H8047H8179H3807H7591
13This is what will happen in every nation all over the world. It will be like the end of harvest, when the olives have been beaten off every tree and the last grapes picked from the vines.H7130H776H8432H5971H5363H2132H5955H1210H3615
14Those who survive will sing for joy. Those in the West will tell how great the LORD is,H5375H6963H7442H1347H3068H6670H3220
15and those in the East will praise him. The people who live along the sea will praise the LORD, the God of Israel.H3513H3068H217H8034H3068H430H3478H339H3220
16From the most distant parts of the world we will hear songs in praise of Israel, the righteous nation. But there is no hope for me! I am wasting away! Traitors continue to betray, and their treachery grows worse and worse.H3671H776H8085H2158H6643H6662H559H7334H7334H188H898H898H898H899H898
17Listen to me, everyone! There are terrors, pits, and traps waiting for you.H6343H6354H6341H3427H776
18Anyone who tries to escape from the terror will fall in a pit, and anyone who escapes from the pit will be caught in a trap. Torrents of rain will pour from the sky, and earth's foundations will shake.H5127H6963H6343H5307H6354H5927H8432H6354H3920H6341H699H4791H6605H4146H776H7493
19The earth will crack and shatter and split open.H776H7489H7489H776H6565H6565H776H4131H4131
20The earth itself will stagger like a drunk, sway like a hut in a storm. The world is weighed down by its sins; it will collapse and never rise again.H776H5128H5128H7910H5110H4412H6588H3513H5307H6965H3254
21A time is coming when the LORD will punish the powers above and the rulers of the earth.H3117H3068H6485H6635H4791H4791H4428H127H127
22God will crowd kings together like prisoners in a pit. He will shut them in prison until the time of their punishment comes.H622H616H626H953H5462H4525H7230H3117H6485
23The moon will grow dark, and the sun will no longer shine, for the LORD Almighty will be king. He will rule in Jerusalem on Mount Zion, and the leaders of the people will see his glory.H3842H2659H2535H954H3068H6635H4427H2022H6726H3389H2205H3519
