Isaiah 24:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 24:5

3 The land shall be entirely emptied and utterly plundered,
For the Lord has spoken this word.

4 The earth mourns and fades away,
The world languishes and fades away;
The ^ahaughty people of the earth languish.

5 ^aThe earth is also defiled under its inhabitants,
Because they have ^btransgressed the laws,
Changed the ordinance,
Broken the ^ceverlasting covenant.

6 Therefore ^athe curse has devoured the earth,
And those who dwell in it are¹ desolate.
Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are ^bburned,
And few men are left.

7 ^aThe new wine fails, the vine languishes,
All the merry-hearted sigh.

8 The mirth ^aof the tambourine ceases,
The noise of the jubilant ends,
The joy of the harp ceases.

9 They shall not drink wine with a song;
Strong drink is bitter to those who drink it.

10 The city of confusion is broken down;
Every house is shut up, so that none may go in.
