  • Isa 10:22-23 : 22 Even though your people, O Israel, are like the sand of the sea, only a remnant will return. Destruction has been decreed, overwhelming and righteous. 23 For the Lord, the LORD of Hosts, will execute the decreed destruction throughout the whole land.
  • Isa 24:1-9 : 1 Behold, the Lord lays the earth waste, devastates it, distorts its surface, and scatters its inhabitants. 2 It will be the same for the people as for the priest, the servant as for his master, the maid as for her mistress, the buyer as for the seller, the lender as for the borrower, the creditor as for the debtor. 3 The earth will be utterly laid waste and completely plundered, for the Lord has spoken this word. 4 The earth mourns and withers; the world fades and withers; the exalted of the earth languish. 5 The earth is defiled by its inhabitants, for they have transgressed laws, violated statutes, and broken the everlasting covenant. 6 Therefore, a curse devours the earth, and its inhabitants bear the guilt. Therefore, the earth’s inhabitants are burned, and few people are left. 7 The new wine dries up, the vine withers, and all the merry-hearted groan. 8 The joy of tambourines ceases, the noise of revelers stops, and the joyful sound of the harp is silenced. 9 They no longer drink wine with song; strong drink is bitter to those who drink it. 10 The city of chaos is shattered; every house is shut up so no one may enter. 11 In the streets, there is an outcry over the wine; all joy turns dark, and the gladness of the earth departs. 12 Only desolation is left in the city; the gate is battered into ruins. 13 So it will be in the midst of the earth among the nations, like the shaking of an olive tree, as gleanings after the grape harvest is over. 14 They raise their voices, they sing for joy; from the west they shout over the majesty of the Lord. 15 Therefore, glorify the Lord in the east, and in the coastlands of the sea glorify the name of the Lord, the God of Israel. 16 From the ends of the earth, we hear songs: 'Glory to the Righteous One.' But I said, 'I perish, I perish, woe to me! The treacherous betray, with treachery the treacherous betray.' 17 Terror, pit, and snare confront you, O inhabitant of the earth. 18 Whoever flees at the sound of terror will fall into the pit, and whoever climbs out of the pit will be caught in the snare; for the floodgates of the heavens are opened, and the foundations of the earth shake. 19 The earth is utterly broken, the earth is split apart, the earth is violently shaken. 20 The earth staggers like a drunkard, it sways like a hut; its transgression lies heavy upon it, and it falls, never to rise again. 21 On that day, the Lord will punish the host of the heavens above and the kings of the earth below. 22 They will be gathered together like prisoners in a pit; they will be shut in a dungeon, and after many days they will be punished. 23 Then the moon will be abashed and the sun ashamed, for the Lord of Hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before His elders will be His glory.
