“Behold, the Lord will empty the earth[a] and make it desolate,
and he will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants…
Therefore a curse devours the earth,
and its inhabitants suffer for their guilt;
therefore the inhabitants of the earth are scorched,
and few men are left….
The earth staggers like a drunken man;
it sways like a hut;
its transgression lies heavy upon it,
and it falls, and will not rise again….” Isaiah 24: 1, 6 & 20
