<03068>

maketh the earth
<0776>

empty
<01238> (8802)_,

and maketh it waste
<01110> (8802)_,

<05753> (8765)

it upside down
<06440>_,

and scattereth abroad
<06327> (8689)

the inhabitants

<05971>_,

so with the priest

the world
<08398>

languisheth
<0535> (8797)

the haughty
<04791>

people
<05971>

the laws
<08451>_,

changed
<02498> (8804)

the ordinance

the earth
<0776>_,

and they that dwell

therein are desolate
<0816> (8799)_:

therefore the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the earth
<0776>

are burned
<02787> (8804)_,

and few
<04213>

<08354> (8799)

wine
<03196>

it.

24:10

The city
<07151>

of confusion
<08414>

is broken down

is shut up
<05462> (8795)_,

that no man may come in
<0935> (8800)_.

24:11

[There is] a crying
<06682>

for wine
<03196>

in the streets
<02351>_;

is darkened

the mirth
<04885>

of the land

24:12

In the city
<05892>

is left
<07604> (8738)

is smitten
<03807> (8714)

with destruction

When thus it shall be in the midst
<07130>

of the land
<0776>

among
<08432>

the people
<05971>_,

[there shall be] as the shaking
<05363>

of an olive tree
<02132>_,

[and] as the gleaning grapes
<05955>

when the vintage
<01210>

is done
<03615> (8804)_.

24:14

They shall lift up
<05375> (8799)

their voice

they shall sing

for the majesty

<03513> (8761)

ye the LORD

of the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

in the isles
<0339>

From the uttermost part
<03671>

of the earth
<0776>

have we heard
<08085> (8804)

songs
<02158>_,

[even] glory
<06643>

to the righteous
<06662>_.

But I said
<0559> (8799)_,

My leanness
<07334>_,

my leanness
<07334>_,

woe
<0188>

unto me! the treacherous dealers
<0898> (8802)

have dealt treacherously
<0898> (8804)_;

yea, the treacherous dealers
<0898> (8802)

have dealt very
<0899>

treacherously
<0898> (8804)_.

24:17

Fear
<06343>_,

and the pit
<06354>_,

<06341>_,

[are] upon thee, O inhabitant
<03427> (8802)

of the earth
<0776>_.
