RF ISA 24:1 ODE 32.
The Desolation of Judea foretold.
See! the Land the LORD dispeoples,
Pours it out, with face reversed,
And its population chases!
RF ISA 24:2 Alike with Priest and with the Layman,
With the Master and his Slave,
With the Waitress and her Mistress,
With the Buyer and the Seller,
With the Lender and the Borrower,
Mortgagor and Mortgagee!
RF ISA 24:3 The Land shall be quite emptied,
And contemptuously despised,—
For the LORD decrees this sentence!
RF ISA 24:4 The Land falls down exhausted,
Its fainting people swoon;
The country's nobles faint!
RF ISA 24:5 The Land her people loathes,
Who break the laws, and change decrees,
Despise the Eternal Treaty.—
RF ISA 24:6 So a curse eats up the Land,—
And the dwellers in it waste;
Its people burn the land,—
And but few of men remain.
RF ISA 24:7 Grapes mourn,—the vine stock faints,—
The merry hearted groan.—
RF ISA 24:8 The sound of drums is still,
The shout of pleasure fails,
The sounding harp is silent—
RF ISA 24:9 They drink not wine with song,—
Wine saddens those who drink.
RF ISA 24:10 The broken Town is still,
Each empty house is shut!
RF ISA 24:11 The streets cry out for wine,
All pleasure is athirst.
Mirth ceases from the land!
RF ISA 24:12 The Town is left a waste,—
Destruction broke its gate!
RF ISA 24:13 Amid the land it stands,
A stripped Olive in the tribes,
Which they glean at harvest's end!
RF ISA 24:14 ODE 33.
The Glad restoration of Israel foretold.
Now they raise a sound of cheering,
From sea they praise the GLORIOUS LORD.
RF ISA 24:15 The LORD with splendour they are honoring
In the Islands of the Sea,—
Jehovah's Name, the GOD of Israel,
RF ISA 24:16 From the Wings of Earth they sound,
Swelling psalms to Him the Truthful.
Then I cried, Alas my leanness!—
Woe to me! for plunderers plunder,
And the robbers plundering rob!
RF ISA 24:17 Confusion, and the trap and snare,
Are on the people of our land!
RF ISA 24:18 And they who fly from Terror's voice,
Fall in the trap!
And those who creep from out the trap,
The lassoes catch!
For windows from on high are opened,
And the earth's foundations shake!
RF ISA 24:19 And the land with crashing crashes,
And the land with breaches breaks!
Tottering land meets ground that totters,
RF ISA 24:20 Staggering earth like drunkard staggers,
And flapping, quivers like a tent;
And her crimes are heavy on her,
She will fall, nor rise again!
RF ISA 24:21 At that time the LORD will visit,
From His Seat the Proud on high,
And on earth, the Kings upon earth;
RF ISA 24:22 And collect the crowd of captives,
To the cells and shut up safe,
But after many days will punish.
RF ISA 24:23 Then the Moon shall veil her features,
And the Sun shall be obscured,
When the LORD OF HOSTS is King
In Jerusalem on Mount Zion,
Attended by His Chiefs in glory!
