Isaiah 24:22

Read in context

Isaiah 24:20–23 · Berean Standard Bible

20 The earth staggers like a drunkard and sways like a shack. Earth’s rebellion weighs it down, and it falls, never to rise again.

21 In that day the LORD will punish the host of heaven above and the kings of the earth below.

22 They will be gathered together like prisoners in a pit. They will be confined to a dungeon and punished after many days.

23 The moon will be confounded and the sun will be ashamed; for the LORD of Hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before His elders with great glory.
