24:1Jehovah now makes the earth desolate and lays it waste; He distorts its surface and scatters its inhabitants:

24:2As it is with the people, so will it be with the priest; / As it is with the servant, so will it be with the master; / As it is with the maid, so will it be with the mistress; / As it is with the buyer, so will it be with the seller; / As it is with the lender, so will it be with the borrower; / As it is with the creditor, so will it be with him to whom he gives credit.

24:3The earth will be utterly desolated / And utterly spoiled, / For Jehovah has spoken this word.

24:4The earth dries up and fades away; / The world languishes and fades away; / The exalted of the people of the earth languish.
Compare

24:5And the earth is polluted under the weight of its inhabitants; / For they have transgressed laws, they have violated statutes, / They have broken an eternal covenant.
Compare
-
24:6Therefore a curse devours the earth / And the inhabitants of it are held guilty; / Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, / And few men are left.
Compare
-
24:7The new wine mourns; the vine languishes; / All the merryhearted sigh.
Compare

24:8The mirth of the tambourines ceases; / The noise of those who exult stops; / The mirth of the lyre ceases.
Compare

24:9Men do not drink wine in song; / Liquor is bitter to those who drink it.
Compare

24:10The city of chaos is broken down; / Every house is shut up that none may enter.
Compare

24:11A cry for wine is in the streets; / All joy is darkened; / The mirth of the land is departed.
Compare
-
24:12In the city desolation remains, / And the gate is crushed to ruins.
Compare
-
24:13For thus will it be in the midst of the earth, / Among the peoples: / Like the shaking of an olive tree, / Like the gleanings when the grape harvest is completed.
Compare
-
24:14They will lift up their voice; they will give a ringing shout; / Because of the majesty of Jehovah they will cry out from the west.
Compare

24:16From the ends of the earth we hear songs: / Glory to the righteous One! / But I say, Leanness to me! Leanness to me! Woe to me! / The unfaithful deal unfaithfully! / Indeed the unfaithful deal most unfaithfully!

24:19The earth is broken asunder; / The earth is split through and through; / The earth is shaken violently.
Compare
-
24:20The earth staggers back and forth like a drunkard / And sways about like a field hut. / And its transgression weighs heavily upon it; / It will fall and will not rise again.
Compare

24:21And in that day Jehovah will punish / On high the host on high, / And the kings of the earth on the earth.
Compare
-
24:22And they will be gathered together, / Like prisoners gathered in a dungeon; / And will be shut up in prison, / And after many days they will be punished.
Compare
-
24:23Then the moon will be abashed, and the sun will be ashamed; / For Jehovah of hosts will reign / In Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, / And His glory will be before His elders.

25:1O Jehovah, You are my God; / I will exalt You, I will give thanks to Your name, / For You have done wonderful things - / Counsels of old, in faithfulness, perfect faithfulness.
Compare
-
25:2For You have made of a city a heap, / Of a fortified town a ruin. / A palace of strangers becomes no city at all; / It will never be rebuilt.
Compare
-
25:3Therefore a strong people will glorify You; / The cities of terrifying nations will fear You.
Compare
-
25:4For You have been a stronghold to the weak, / A stronghold to the needy in his distress, / A refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat; / For the breath of those who terrify is like a tempest against a wall.
Compare

25:5Like the heat in a drought, / You will subdue the uproar of strangers; / Like the heat through the shadow of a cloud, / The song of those who terrify will be brought low.

25:9And it will be said in that day, / Here, this is our God, / For whom we have waited that He may save us. / This is Jehovah, for whom we have waited; / Let us be glad and rejoice in His salvation.
Compare
-
25:10For the hand of Jehovah will rest on this mountain, / And Moab will be threshed in his place, / Even as straw is threshed in the water of a dung heap.
Compare
-
25:11And he will spread out his hands in the middle of it, / As a swimmer spreads out his hands to swim; / But Jehovah will abase his pride together with the trickery of his hands.
Compare
-
25:12And the lofty fortification of your walls He will bring down, / Lay low, and cast to the ground, even to the dust.

26:8Indeed in the path of Your judgments, / O Jehovah, we have waited for You. / Your name, that is, Your memorial, / Is the desire of our soul.
Compare
-
26:9My soul desires You in the night; / Indeed my spirit within me seeks You at the dawn; / For when Your judgments are in the earth, / The inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
Compare
-
26:10Though the wicked is shown grace, / He does not learn righteousness; / In the land of straightforwardness he deals unjustly / And does not perceive the majesty of Jehovah.
Compare
-
26:11O Jehovah, Your hand is lifted up, / But they do not see it. / They will see Your zeal for the people and will be put to shame; / Indeed fire will devour Your adversaries.
Compare
-
26:12O Jehovah, You will ordain peace for us, / For You have also performed all our works for us.
Compare
-
26:13O Jehovah our God, other lords besides You have been master to us, / But through You alone do we mention Your name.
Compare
-
26:14The dead will not live, / The deceased will not rise; / Therefore You have visited and destroyed them, / And You have caused all memory of them to perish.
Compare
-
26:15You have increased the nation, O Jehovah; / You have increased the nation - You are glorified; / You have far extended all the edges of the land.
Compare

26:16O Jehovah, in distress they sought You; / They whispered out a prayer, for Your chastening was upon them.
Compare
-
26:17As a pregnant woman draws near to giving birth, / She writhes and cries out in her pain; / So we have been before You, O Jehovah.
Compare
-
26:18We were pregnant; we writhed; we gave birth, as it were, to wind. / We have not accomplished deliverance for the earth, / Nor have the inhabitants of the world been born.
Compare
-
26:19Your dead will live; my corpses will rise. / Awake and give a ringing shout, you who dwell in dust, / For your dew is like the dew of the dawn, / And the earth will bring forth the deceased.
Compare
-
26:20Come, my people, enter your rooms, / And shut your doors behind you; / Hide for a short moment / Until the indignation has passed;
Compare
-
26:21For Jehovah is now coming forth from His place / To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; / And the earth will reveal her bloodshed / And will no longer conceal her slain.
Compare
-
27:1In that day Jehovah will punish, / With His harsh, great, and mighty sword, / Leviathan the fleeing serpent, / And leviathan the crooked serpent; / And He will slay the dragon that is in the sea.
Compare
-
27:2In that day: / A vineyard of wine, sing of it!
Compare
-
27:3I, Jehovah, am its keeper; / Every moment I water it. / Lest anyone visit harm upon it, / By night and by day I guard it.
Compare
-
27:4I have no wrath. / Oh that I had thorns and thistles! / In battle I would march against them; / I would burn them completely.
Compare
-
27:5Or let him grasp at My strength; / Let him make peace with Me; / Let him make peace with Me.

27:6In the days to come Jacob will take root; / Israel will blossom and bud; / And they will fill the surface of the world with their produce.
Compare
-
27:7Has He struck them like those who struck them? / Have they been slain like those slain by Him?
Compare
-
27:8By expulsion and by banishing them, You contended with them; / He sent them away with His harsh wind in the day of the east wind.
Compare
-
27:9Thus by this the iniquity of Jacob will be expiated, / And this is all the fruit of the removal of their sin; / When they make all the stones of their altar / Like chalk stones beaten to powder - / Asherahs and sun images will not stand.
Compare
-
27:10For the fortified city is isolated; / The habitation is given up and abandoned like a wilderness. / There the calf will feed, / And there he will lie down and consume its branches.
Compare
-
27:11When its boughs are withered, they will be broken off; / Women come and make a fire with them; / For they are not a people of understanding. / Therefore He who made them will not have compassion on them, / And He who formed them will not show favor to them.
Compare
-
27:12And in that day Jehovah will beat out the grain from the flowing stream of / the River / Unto the brook of Egypt; / And you will be gleaned / One by one, O you children of Israel.
Compare
-
27:13And in that day a great trumpet will be blown, / And the ones lost in the land of Assyria will come, / As well as the outcasts in the land of Egypt, / And they will worship Jehovah / On the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
