New Testament

Isaiah 24:16-20 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

16. From all over the worldsongs of praise are heardfor the God of justice.But I feel awful,terribly miserable.Can anyone be trusted?So many are treacherous!

17. Terror, traps, and pitsare waiting for everyone.

18. If you are terrified and run,you will fall into a pit;if you crawl out of the pit,you will get caught in a trap.The sky has split apartlike a window thrown open.The foundations of the earthhave been shaken;

19. the earth is shattered,ripped to pieces.

20. It staggers and shakeslike a drunkardor a hut in a storm.It is burdened down with sin;the earth will fall,never again to get up.
