Old Testament

New Testament

Isaiah 24:10-16 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

10. The city of vanity has been worn away. Every house has been closed up; no one enters.

11. There will be a clamor for wine in the streets. All rejoicing has been abandoned. The gladness of the earth has been carried away.

12. Solitude is what remains in the city, and calamity will overwhelm its gates.

13. For so shall it be in the midst of the earth, in the midst of the people: it is as if the few remaining olives are being shaken from the olive tree, and it is like a few clusters of grapes, when the grape harvest has already ended.

14. These few shall lift up their voice and give praise. When the Lord will have been glorified, they will make a joyful noise from the sea.

15. Because of this, glorify the Lord in doctrine: the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea.

16. From the ends of the earth, we have heard the praises of the glory of the Just One. And I said: "My secret is for myself! My secret is for myself! Woe to me! Those who would betray us have betrayed us, and they have betrayed us with the betrayal of transgression."
