Isaiah 24:4

4 The earth turns gaunt and gray, the world silent and sad, sky and land lifeless, colorless. Earth Polluted by Its Very Own People

Isaiah 24:4 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 24:4

The earth mourneth, [and] fadeth away
It mourns, because of its inhabitants being destroyed; and it fades away, because stripped of its wealth and riches: so the kings of the earth, and merchants of it are represented as weeping and mourning at the destruction of Rome, because of its judgments, and the loss of its trade and riches, ( Revelation 18:9-17 ) : the world languisheth, [and] fadeth away:
the inhabitants of it are like a sick man, that is so faint and feeble that he cannot stand, but totters and falls; and like the leaves of trees and flowers of the fields, whose strength and beauty are gone, and fade and fall: the haughty people of the earth do languish:
the kings and merchants of the earth before mentioned, who grow sick and faint through fear of what is coming upon them.

Isaiah 24:4 In-Context

3 The landscape will be a moonscape, totally wasted. And why? Because God says so. He's issued the orders.

4 The earth turns gaunt and gray, the world silent and sad, sky and land lifeless, colorless. Earth Polluted by Its Very Own People

5 Earth is polluted by its very own people, who have broken its laws, Disrupted its order, violated the sacred and eternal covenant.

6 Therefore a curse, like a cancer, ravages the earth. Its people pay the price of their sacrilege. They dwindle away, dying out one by one.
