Isaiah 24:18-23 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

18. Whoever flees at the sound of panicwill fall into a pit,and whoever escapes from the pitwill be caught in a trap.For the windows are opened from heaven, and the foundations of the earth are shaken.

19. The earth is completely devastated;the earth is split open;the earth is violently shaken.

20. The earth staggers like a drunkard and sways like a hut.Earth’s rebellion weighs it down,and it falls, never to rise again.

21. On that day the Lord will punishthe host of heaven aboveand kings of the earth below.

22. They will be gathered togetherlike prisoners in a pit. They will be confined to a dungeon; after many days they will be punished.

23. The moon will be put to shameand the sun disgraced,because the Lord of Hosts will reign as kingon Mount Zion in Jerusalem,and He will display His gloryin the presence of His elders.
