Isaiah 24

Gen Z: Isaiah 24

1Yo, the Lord's totally emptying the earth, making it a wasteland, flipping it upside down, and scattering the peeps everywhere.

2It’s gonna be like, if the crowd's down, so are the priests; if the servant’s struggling, so is the boss; if the buyer's bummed, so is the seller; if the lender's sus, so is the borrower.

3The land's gonna be straight-up empty and wrecked, 'cause the Lord said it’s happening, no cap.

4The earth’s feeling all sad and faded, the world’s vibing low, and the boujee folks are just languishing.

5The earth’s totally messed up 'cause of its peeps; they broke the rules, switched things up, and ditched the eternal covenant.

6So, the curse is munching on the earth, and those living there are left empty; the inhabitants are burned out, and it’s slim pickings.

7New wine’s all sad, the vine’s struggling, and all the party people are just sighing.

8The beats are dead, the hype is gone, and the joy from the harp just stopped.

9They won’t be sipping wine with a vibe; strong drinks are gonna taste bitter to those who drink it.

10The city’s a hot mess, every house is locked up tight, no one’s getting in.

11There’s peeps crying for wine in the streets; all the joy is dark, and the good vibes are gone.

12The city’s left in shambles, and the gate's been smashed up.

13When it’s all like this in the land, it’ll feel like an olive tree shaking and grapes being picked after harvest.

14They’ll raise their voices, singing for the Lord’s glory, crying out from the sea.

15So, give props to the Lord in the fires, even the name of the Lord God of Israel in the islands.

16From the ends of the earth, we hear songs, giving glory to the righteous. But I’m like, "I’m struggling, I’m struggling, woe is me!" The shady dealers are being shady; for real, they’re super sus.

17Fear, traps, and snares are all on you, O earth-dweller.

18And it’s gonna be that whoever runs from the fear noise will fall into a trap; and whoever climbs out of that trap will get caught in another; 'cause the windows from up high are open, and the earth’s foundations are shaking.

19The earth’s totally broken down, it’s like, clean dissolved, and moving hard.

20The earth’s gonna sway like a drunk, and be taken away like a shack; the weight of its wrongs is heavy, and it’s gonna fall, never to rise again.

21And it’ll be that day when the Lord’s gonna come for the high-ups and the kings of the earth.

22They’ll be gathered like prisoners in a pit and locked up, and after a while, they’ll be checked on.

23Then the moon will be shook, and the sun will be embarrassed, when the Lord of hosts reigns on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, looking glorious before his crew.

KJV: Isaiah 24

1Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.

2And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.

3The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the Lord hath spoken this word.

4The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.

5The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.

6Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.

7The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merryhearted do sigh.

8The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.

9They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.

10The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in.

11There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.

12In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.

13When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.

14They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the Lord, they shall cry aloud from the sea.

15Wherefore glorify ye the Lord in the fires, even the name of the Lord God of Israel in the isles of the sea.

16From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.

17Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.

18And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.

19The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.

20The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.

21And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.

22And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.

23Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the Lord of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.
