24:1

Behold, the LORD
<03068>

maketh the earth
<0776>

empty
<01238> (8802)_,

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

and turneth
<05753> (8765)

it upside down
<06440>_,

and scattereth abroad
<06327> (8689)

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

thereof. {turneth...: Heb. perverteth the face thereof}

24:2

And it shall be, as with the people
<05971>_,

so with the priest
<03548>_;

as with the servant
<05650>_,

so with his master
<0113>_;

as with the maid
<08198>_,

so with her mistress
<01404>_;

as with the buyer
<07069> (8802)_,

so with the seller
<04376> (8802)_;

as with the lender
<03867> (8688)_,

so with the borrower
<03867> (8801)_;

as with the taker of usury
<05383> (8802)_,

so
<0834>

with the giver of usury
<05378> (8801)

to him. {priest: or, prince}

24:3

The land
<0776>

shall be utterly
<01238> (8736)

emptied
<01238> (8735)_,

and utterly
<0962> (8736)

spoiled
<0962> (8735)_:

for the LORD
<03068>

hath spoken
<01696> (8765)

this word
<01697>_.

24:4

The earth
<0776>

mourneth
<056> (8804)

[and] fadeth away
<05034> (8804)_,

the world
<08398>

languisheth
<0535> (8797)

[and] fadeth away
<05034> (8804)_,

the haughty
<04791>

people
<05971>

of the earth
<0776>

do languish
<0535> (8797)_.

{the haughty...: Heb. the height of the people}

24:5

The earth
<0776>

also is defiled
<02610> (8804)

under the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

thereof; because they have transgressed
<05674> (8804)

the laws
<08451>_,

changed
<02498> (8804)

the ordinance
<02706>_,

broken
<06565> (8689)

the everlasting
<05769>

covenant
<01285>_.

24:6

Therefore hath the curse
<0423>

devoured
<0398> (8804)

the earth
<0776>_,

and they that dwell
<03427> (8802)

therein are desolate
<0816> (8799)_:

therefore the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the earth
<0776>

are burned
<02787> (8804)_,

and few
<04213>

men
<0582>

left
<07604> (8738)_.

24:7

The new wine
<08492>

mourneth
<056> (8804)_,

the vine
<01612>

languisheth
<0535> (8797)_,

all the merryhearted
<08056> <03820>

do sigh
<0584> (8738)_.

24:8

The mirth
<04885>

of tabrets
<08596>

ceaseth
<07673> (8804)_,

the noise
<07588>

of them that rejoice
<05947>

endeth
<02308> (8804)_,

the joy
<04885>

of the harp
<03658>

ceaseth
<07673> (8804)_.

24:9

They shall not drink
<08354> (8799)

wine
<03196>

with a song
<07892>_;

strong drink
<07941>

shall be bitter
<04843> (8799)

to them that drink
<08354> (8802)

it.

24:10

The city
<07151>

of confusion
<08414>

is broken down
<07665> (8738)_:

every house
<01004>

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>_;

all joy
<08057>

is darkened
<06150> (8804)_,

the mirth
<04885>

of the land
<0776>

is gone
<01540> (8804)_.

24:12

In the city
<05892>

is left
<07604> (8738)

desolation
<08047>_,

and the gate
<08179>

is smitten
<03807> (8714)

with destruction
<07591>_.

24:13

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
<06963>_,

they shall sing
<07442> (8799)

for the majesty
<01347>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

they shall cry aloud
<06670> (8804)

from the sea
<03220>_.

24:15

Wherefore glorify
<03513> (8761)

ye the LORD
<03068>

in the fires
<0217>_,

[even] the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

in the isles
<0339>

of the sea
<03220>_.

{fires: or, valleys}

24:16

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)_.

{uttermost...: Heb. wing} {My leanness: Heb. Leanness to me, or, My secret to me}

24:17

Fear
<06343>_,

and the pit
<06354>_,

and the snare
<06341>_,

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

of the earth
<0776>_.

24:18

And it shall come to pass, [that] he who fleeth
<05127> (8801)

from the noise
<06963>

of the fear
<06343>

shall fall
<05307> (8799)

into the pit
<06354>_;

and he that cometh up
<05927> (8802)

out of the midst
<08432>

of the pit
<06354>

shall be taken
<03920> (8735)

in the snare
<06341>_:

for the windows
<0699>

from on high
<04791>

are open
<06605> (8738)_,

and the foundations
<04146>

of the earth
<0776>

do shake
<07493> (8799)_.

24:19

The earth
<0776>

is utterly
<07489> (8800)

broken down
<07489> (8712)_,

the earth
<0776>

is clean
<06565> (8800)

dissolved
<06565> (8707)_,

the earth
<0776>

is moved
<04131> (8694)

exceedingly
<04131> (8800)_.

24:20

The earth
<0776>

shall reel
<05128> (8799)

to and fro
<05128> (8800)

like a drunkard
<07910>_,

and shall be removed
<05110> (8712)

like a cottage
<04412>_;

and the transgression
<06588>

thereof shall be heavy
<03513> (8804)

upon it; and it shall fall
<05307> (8804)_,

and not rise
<06965> (8800)

again
<03254> (8686)_.
