Isaiah 24

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 24 of 66

1 Behold! Jehovah empties the land and makes it waste, and distorts its face, and scatters those living in it.

2 And as it is with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with the master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the creditor, so with the debtor.

3 The land shall completely be emptied and plundering will be plundered, for Jehovah has spoken this Word.
