Isaiah 24

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 The LORD is going to completely destroy everything on earth. He will twist its surface. He'll scatter those who live on it.

2 Priests and people alike will suffer. So will masters and their servants. And so will women and their female servants. Sellers and buyers alike will suffer. So will those who borrow and those who lend. And so will those who owe money and those who lend it.

3 The earth will be completely destroyed. Everything of value will be taken out of it. That's what the LORD has said.

4 The earth will dry up completely. The world will dry up and waste away. The most important people on earth will fade away.

5 The earth is polluted by its people. They haven't obeyed the laws of the Lord. They haven't done what he told them to do. They've broken the covenant that will last forever.

6 So the LORD will send a curse on the earth. Its people will pay for what they've done. They will be burned up. Very few of them will be left.

7 The vines and fresh wine will dry up completely. Those who used to have a good time will groan.

8 The happy sounds of tambourines will be gone. The noise of those who enjoy wild parties will stop. The joyful music of harps will become silent.

9 People will no longer sing as they drink wine. Beer will taste bitter to those who drink it.

10 Destroyed cities will lie empty. People will lock themselves inside their houses.

11 In the streets people will cry out for wine. All joy will turn into sadness. All happiness will be driven out of the earth.

12 All of the buildings will be knocked down. Every city gate will be smashed to pieces.

13 That's how it will be on the earth. And that's how it will be among the nations. It will be as when workers knock all but a few olives off the trees. It will be like a vine that has only a few grapes left after the harvest.

14 Those who are left alive will shout with joy. People from the west will praise the LORD because he is the King.

15 So give glory to him, you who live in the east. Honor the name of the Lord, you who are in the islands of the sea. He is the God of Israel.

16 From one end of the earth to the other we hear singing. People are saying, "Give glory to the One who always does what is right." But I said, "I feel very bad. I'm getting weaker and weaker. How terrible it is for me! People turn against one another. They can't be trusted. So they turn against each other."

17 People of the earth, terror, a pit and a trap are waiting for you.

18 Anyone who runs away from the terror will fall into the pit. Anyone who climbs out of the pit will be caught in the trap. The LORD will open the windows of the skies. He will flood the land. The foundations of the earth will shake.

19 The earth will be broken up. It will split open. It will be shaken to pieces.

20 The earth will be unsteady like someone who is drunk. It will sway like a tent in the wind. Its sin will weigh so heavily on it that it will fall. It will never get up again.

21 At that time the LORD will punish the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens above. He will also punish the kings on the earth below.

22 They will be brought together like prisoners in chains. They'll be locked up in prison. After many days the LORD will punish them.

23 The LORD who rules over all will rule on Mount Zion in Jerusalem. The elders of the city will be there. They will see his glory. His rule will be so glorious that the sun and moon will be too ashamed to shine.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 ecce Dominus dissipabit terram et nudabit eam et adfliget faciem eius et disperget habitatores eius

2 et erit sicut populus sic sacerdos et sicut servus sic dominus eius sicut ancilla sic domina eius sicut emens sic ille qui vendit sicut fenerator sic is qui mutuum accipit sicut qui repetit sic qui debet

3 dissipatione dissipabitur terra et direptione praedabitur Dominus enim locutus est verbum hoc

4 luxit et defluxit terra et infirmata est defluxit orbis infirmata est altitudo populi terrae

5 et terra interfecta est ab habitatoribus suis quia transgressi sunt leges mutaverunt ius dissipaverunt foedus sempiternum

6 propter hoc maledictio vorabit terram et peccabunt habitatores eius ideoque insanient cultores eius et relinquentur homines pauci

7 luxit vindemia infirmata est vitis ingemuerunt omnes qui laetabantur corde

8 cessavit gaudium tympanorum quievit sonitus laetantium conticuit dulcedo citharae

9 cum cantico non bibent vinum amara erit potio bibentibus illam

10 adtrita est civitas vanitatis clausa est omnis domus nullo introeunte

11 clamor erit super vino in plateis deserta est omnis laetitia translatum est gaudium terrae

12 relicta est in urbe solitudo et calamitas opprimet portas

13 quia haec erunt in medio terrae in medio populorum quomodo si paucae olivae quae remanserunt excutiantur ex olea et racemi cum fuerit finita vindemia

14 hii levabunt vocem suam atque laudabunt cum glorificatus fuerit Dominus hinnient de mari

15 propter hoc in doctrinis glorificate Dominum in insulis maris nomen Domini Dei Israhel

16 a finibus terrae laudes audivimus gloriam iusti et dixi secretum meum mihi secretum meum mihi vae mihi praevaricantes praevaricati sunt et praevaricatione transgressorum praevaricati sunt

17 formido et fovea et laqueus super te qui habitator es terrae

18 et erit qui fugerit a voce formidinis cadet in foveam et qui se explicuerit de fovea tenebitur laqueo quia cataractae de excelsis apertae sunt et concutientur fundamenta terrae

19 confractione confringetur terra contritione conteretur terra commotione commovebitur terra

20 agitatione agitabitur terra sicut ebrius et auferetur quasi tabernaculum unius noctis et gravabit eam iniquitas sua et corruet et non adiciet ut resurgat

21 et erit in die illa visitabit Dominus super militiam caeli in excelso et super reges terrae qui sunt super terram

22 et congregabuntur in congregationem unius fascis in lacum et cludentur ibi in carcerem et post multos dies visitabuntur

23 et erubescet luna et confundetur sol cum regnaverit Dominus exercituum in monte Sion et in Hierusalem et in conspectu senum suorum fuerit glorificatus
