Isaiah 24:18

Isaiah 24:18

16 From the ends of the earth we have heard songs:
“Glory to the righteous!”
But I said,¹ “I am ruined, ruined!
Woe to me!
^aThe treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously,
Indeed, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.”

17 ^aFear and the pit and the snare
Are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth.

18 And it shall be¹
That he who flees from the noise of the fear
Shall fall into the pit,
And he who comes up from the midst of the pit
Shall be caught in the snare;
For ^athe windows from on high are open,
And ^bthe foundations of the earth are shaken.

19 ^aThe earth is violently broken,
The earth is split open,
The earth is shaken exceedingly.

20 The earth shall ^areel to and fro like a drunkard,
And shall totter like a hut;
Its transgression shall be heavy upon it,
And it will fall, and not rise again.
