Isaiah 24:13

The Judgment On The Earth

¹²
Horrible desolation is left in the city,
And the gate is battered into ruins.
¹³ 
For so it will be in the midst of the earth among the peoples,
As the shaking of an olive tree,
As the gleanings when the grape harvest is over [and only a little of the fruit remains].
¹⁴
They [who have escaped and remain] raise their voices, they shout for joy;
They rejoice from the [Mediterranean] Sea in the majesty of the Lord.

Among the Nations

Gleaning Grapes

It is I

On Earth

Throughout the Earth

Of The Earth
