Isaiah 24:20 in Context — Isaiah 24

18 E será que, aquele que fugir do som de temor cairá na cova; e aquele que subir da cova, o laço o prenderá; pois as janelas do alto se abrem; e os fundamentos da terra tremerão.

19 A terra será quebrada por completo; a terra será totalmente partida, e será muito abalada.

20 A terra balançará como um bêbado; e será abalada como uma choupana; e sua transgressão pesará sobre ela; cairá, e nunca mais se levantará.

21 E será que naquele dia o SENHOR visitará [para punir] aos exércitos do alto na altura, e aos reis da terra sobre a terra.

22 E juntamente serão amontoados [como] presos numa masmorra; e serão encarcerados num cárcere; e muitos dias depois serão visitados.
