For the majesty of the Lord
They shall cry aloud from the sea.
bThe name of the Lord God of Israel in the coastlands of the sea.
“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.”
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.
And shall totter like a hut;
Its transgression shall be heavy upon it,
And it will fall, and not rise again.
That the Lord will punish on high the host of exalted ones,
And on the earth athe kings of the earth.
As prisoners are gathered in the1 pit,
And will be shut up in the prison;
After many days they will be punished.
And the sun ashamed;
For the Lord of hosts will breign
On cMount Zion and in Jerusalem
And before His elders, gloriously.

Isaiah 24:16
From - From all the parts of the earth in which the Jews are or shall be. Songs - Of joy and praise. Glory - Or, glory be to the righteous. The Lord, the righteous one. But - In the midst of these joyful tidings, I discern something which gives me cause of lamentation. My leanness - I faint and pine away for grief, for the following reason. Treacherously - The Jews, who have been frequently guilty of great perfidiousness towards God, are now acting the same part. Even the Hebrew doctors expound this place of the perfidiousness of some Jews in the times of the Messiah. And it is not strange that so sad a sight made the prophet cry out, My leanness, etc. He repeats it to shew the horridness of the crime.
