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 24:19 | Isaiah 24:21 >> |
