Revelation 11:18 And the nations were wroth, and thy wrath came, and the time of the dead to be judged, and the time to give their reward
to thy {1} servants the prophets, and to the saints, and to them that fear thy name, the small
and the great; and to destroy them that destroy the earth. {1) Gr bondservants}
Isaiah 24:1 ¶ Behold, Jehovah maketh the {1} earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad
the inhabitants thereof. {1) Or land
(and so in verses 3, 4, etc)}
2 And 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
creditor, so with the debtor; as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest to him.
3 The earth shall be utterly emptied, and utterly laid waste; for Jehovah
hath spoken this word.
4 The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away,
{1} the lofty
people of the earth do languish. {1) Or the high ones of the people}
5 The earth also is polluted under the inhabitants thereof; because they
have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, broken the everlasting covenant.
6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein
are found guilty: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
7 The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merry-hearted do sigh.
8 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the
joy of the harp ceaseth.
9 They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to
them that drink it.
10 The waste 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 {1}
gone. {1) Heb gone into captivity}
12 In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.
13 ¶ For thus shall it be in the midst of the earth among the peoples,
as the {1} shaking
of an olive-tree, as the gleanings when the vintage is done. {1)
Heb beating}
14 These shall lift up their voice, they shall shout; for the majesty of
Jehovah they cry aloud from the sea.
15 Wherefore glorify ye Jehovah in the {1} east, even the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel, in the {2} isles of the sea. {1) Or lights; Or fires 2) Or coast-lands}
16 ¶ From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs: Glory
to the righteous. But I said, {1}
I pine away, I pine away, woe is me! the treacherous have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous have dealt
very treacherously. {1) Heb Leanness to me}
17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.
18 And 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 on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble.
19 The earth is utterly broken, the earth is rent asunder, the earth is shaken
violently.
20 The earth shall stagger like a drunken man, and shall sway to and fro
like a hammock; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it, and it shall fall, and not rise again.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will {1} punish the host of the {2} high ones on high, and the
kings of the earth upon the earth. {1) Heb visit upon 2) Heb height}
22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the
{1} pit, and shall
be shut up in the prison; and after many days shall they be {2} visited. {1) Or dungeon 2) Or punished}
23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for Jehovah of
hosts will reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem; and before his elders shall be glory.
