Isaiah 24 (WEBP)

[1] Behold, Yahweh makes the earth empty, makes it waste, turns it upside down, and scatters its inhabitants.
[2] It will 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 creditor, so with the debtor; as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest.
[3] The earth will be utterly emptied and utterly laid waste; for Yahweh has spoken this word.
[4] The earth mourns and fades away. The world languishes and fades away. The lofty people of the earth languish.
[5] The earth also is polluted under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, and broken the everlasting covenant.
[6] Therefore the curse has devoured the earth, and those who dwell therein are found guilty. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left.
[7] The new wine mourns. The vine languishes. All the merry-hearted sigh.
[8] The mirth of tambourines ceases. The sound of those who rejoice ends. The joy of the harp ceases.
[9] They will not drink wine with a song. Strong drink will be bitter to those who drink it.
[10] The confused city is broken down. Every house is shut up, that no man may come in.
[11] There is a crying in the streets because of the wine. All joy is darkened. The mirth of the land is gone.
[12] The city is left in desolation, and the gate is struck with destruction.
[13] For it will be so within the earth among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive tree, as the gleanings when the vintage is done.
[14] These shall lift up their voice. They will shout for the majesty of Yahweh. They cry aloud from the sea.
[15] Therefore glorify Yahweh in the east, even the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea!
[16] From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs. Glory to the righteous! But I said, “I pine away! I pine away! woe is me!” The treacherous have dealt treacherously. Yes, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.
[17] Fear, the pit, and the snare are on you who inhabit the earth.
[18] It will happen that he who flees from the noise of the fear will fall into the pit; and he who comes up out of the middle of the pit will be taken in the snare; for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble.
[19] The earth is utterly broken. The earth is torn apart. The earth is shaken violently.
[20] The earth will stagger like a drunken man, and will sway back and forth like a hammock. Its disobedience will be heavy on it, and it will fall and not rise again.
[21] It will happen in that day that Yahweh will punish the army of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth on the earth.
[22] They will be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and will be shut up in the prison; and after many days they will be visited.
[23] Then the moon will be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for Yahweh of Armies will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem; and glory will be before his elders.

Isaiah 24 (BYZ)

[1] ιδου κυριος καταφθειρει την οικουμενην και ερημωσει αυτην και ανακαλυψει το προσωπον αυτης και διασπερει τους ενοικουντας εν αυτη
[2] και εσται ο λαος ως ο ιερευς και ο παις ως ο κυριος και η θεραπαινα ως η κυρια εσται ο αγοραζων ως ο πωλων και ο δανειζων ως ο δανειζομενος και ο οφειλων ως ω οφειλει
[3] φθορα φθαρησεται η γη και προνομη προνομευθησεται η γη το γαρ στομα κυριου ελαλησεν ταυτα
[4] επενθησεν η γη και εφθαρη η οικουμενη επενθησαν οι υψηλοι της γης
[5] η δε γη ηνομησεν δια τους κατοικουντας αυτην διοτι παρεβησαν τον νομον και ηλλαξαν τα προσταγματα διαθηκην αιωνιον
[6] δια τουτο αρα εδεται την γην οτι ημαρτοσαν οι κατοικουντες αυτην δια τουτο πτωχοι εσονται οι ενοικουντες εν τη γη και καταλειφθησονται ανθρωποι ολιγοι
[7] πενθησει οινος πενθησει αμπελος στεναξουσιν παντες οι ευφραινομενοι την ψυχην
[8] πεπαυται ευφροσυνη τυμπανων πεπαυται αυθαδεια και πλουτος ασεβων πεπαυται φωνη κιθαρας
[9] ησχυνθησαν ουκ επιον οινον πικρον εγενετο το σικερα τοις πινουσιν
[10] ηρημωθη πασα πολις κλεισει οικιαν του μη εισελθειν
[11] ολολυζετε περι του οινου πανταχη πεπαυται πασα ευφροσυνη της γης
[12] και καταλειφθησονται πολεις ερημοι και οικοι εγκαταλελειμμενοι απολουνται
[13] ταυτα παντα εσται εν τη γη εν μεσω των εθνων ον τροπον εαν τις καλαμησηται ελαιαν ουτως καλαμησονται αυτους και εαν παυσηται ο τρυγητος
[14] ουτοι φωνη βοησονται οι δε καταλειφθεντες επι της γης ευφρανθησονται αμα τη δοξη κυριου ταραχθησεται το υδωρ της θαλασσης
[15] δια τουτο η δοξα κυριου εν ταις νησοις εσται της θαλασσης το ονομα κυριου ενδοξον εσται κυριε ο θεος ισραηλ
[16] απο των πτερυγων της γης τερατα ηκουσαμεν ελπις τω ευσεβει και ερουσιν ουαι τοις αθετουσιν οι αθετουντες τον νομον
[17] φοβος και βοθυνος και παγις εφ υμας τους ενοικουντας επι της γης
[18] και εσται ο φευγων τον φοβον εμπεσειται εις τον βοθυνον ο δε εκβαινων εκ του βοθυνου αλωσεται υπο της παγιδος οτι θυριδες εκ του ουρανου ηνεωχθησαν και σεισθησεται τα θεμελια της γης
[19] ταραχη ταραχθησεται η γη και απορια απορηθησεται η γη
[20] εκλινεν και σεισθησεται ως οπωροφυλακιον η γη ως ο μεθυων και κραιπαλων και πεσειται και ου μη δυνηται αναστηναι κατισχυσεν γαρ επ αυτης η ανομια
[21] και επαξει ο θεος επι τον κοσμον του ουρανου την χειρα και επι τους βασιλεις της γης
[22] και συναξουσιν και αποκλεισουσιν εις οχυρωμα και εις δεσμωτηριον δια πολλων γενεων επισκοπη εσται αυτων
[23] και τακησεται η πλινθος και πεσειται το τειχος οτι βασιλευσει κυριος εν σιων και εν ιερουσαλημ και ενωπιον των πρεσβυτερων δοξασθησεται
