Yasha'Yahu (Isaiah) — 24
Destruction of the Arath
1 Look! 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH is about to destroy the Arath and make it a vast wasteland, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH devastates the surface of the Arath and scatters the people.
2 Kuhanym and lay people, servants and masters, maids and mistresses, buyers and sellers, lenders and borrowers, bankers and debtors, none will be spared.
3 The Arath will be completely emptied and looted, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH has spoken!
4 The Arath mourns and dries up, and the land wastes away and withers, Even the greatest people on Arath waste away.
5 The Arath suffers for the sins of its people, for they have twisted the instructions of 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH, violated the law of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, and broken His everlasting covenant.
6 Therefore, a curse consumes the Arath, Its people must pay the price for their sin, They are destroyed by fire, and only a few are left alive.
7 The grapevines waste away, and there is no new wine, All the merrymakers sigh and mourn.
8 The cheerful sound of tambourines is stilled; the happy cries of celebration are heard no more, The melodious chords of the harp are silent.
9 Gone are the joys of wine and song; alcoholic drink turns bitter in the mouth.
10 The city writhes in chaos; every home is locked to keep out intruders.
11 Mobs gather in the streets, crying out for wine, Joy has turned to gloom, Gladness has been banished from the land.
12 The city is left in ruins, its gates battered down.
13 Throughout the Arath the story is the same, only a remnant is left, like the stray olives left on the tree or the few grapes left on the vine after harvest.
14 But all who are left shout and sing for joy. Those in the west sing Yadah to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH’s majesty.
15 In eastern lands, give Kabad to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH. In the lands beyond the sea, Yadah the Name of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, the 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH of Yashar'AL.
16 We hear songs of Yadah from the ends of the Arath, songs that give Kabad to the Righteous One! But my heart is heavy with grief, Weep for me, for I wither away, Deceit still prevails, and treachery is everywhere.
17 Terror and traps and snares will be your lot, you people of the Arath.
18 Those who flee in terror will fall into a trap, and those who escape the trap will be caught in a snare. Destruction falls like rain from the Shamaym; the foundations of the Arath shake.
19 The Arath has broken up. It has utterly collapsed; it is violently shaken.
20 The Arath staggers like a drunk, It trembles like a tent in a storm, It falls and will not rise again, for the guilt of its rebellion is very heavy.
21 In that day 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH will punish the deities in the Shamaym and the proud rulers of the nations on Arath.
22 They will be rounded up and put in prison. They will be shut up in prison and will finally be punished.
23 Then the Kabad of the moon will wane, and the brightness of the sun will fade, for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH Tsaba'ut will rule on Mount Ziun, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH will rule in great Kabad in Yahushalam, in the sight of all the leaders of His people.
