Isaiah 24:1–4 · Berean Standard Bible

1 Behold, the LORD lays waste the earth and leaves it in ruins. He will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants—

2 people and priest alike, servant and master, maid and mistress, buyer and seller, lender and borrower, creditor and debtor.

3 The earth will be utterly laid waste and thoroughly plundered. For the LORD has spoken this word.

4 The earth mourns and withers; the world languishes and fades; the exalted of the earth waste away.
