Through My Bible Yr 1 – December 24
Bible reading based on Isaiah 24-25 (NIV84) 1 See, the LORD is going to lay waste the earth 2 it will be the same 3 The earth will be completely laid waste 4 The earth dries up and withers,
5 The earth is defiled by its people; 6 Therefore a curse consumes the earth; 7 The new wine dries up and the vine withers; 8 The gaiety of the tambourines is stilled, 9 No longer do they drink wine with a song;
10 The ruined city lies desolate; 11 In the streets they cry out for wine; 12 The city is left in ruins, 13 So will it be on the earth 14 They raise their voices, they shout for joy; 15 Therefore in the east give glory to the LORD; 16 From the ends of the earth we hear singing: 17 Terror and pit and snare await you, 18 Whoever flees at the sound of terror 19 The earth is broken up, 20 The earth reels like a drunkard, 21 In that day the LORD will punish 22 They will be herded together 23 The moon will be abashed, the sun ashamed; 1 O LORD, you are my God; 2 You have made the city a heap of rubble, 3 Therefore strong peoples will honor you; 4 You have been a refuge for the poor, 5 and like the heat of the desert. 6 On this mountain the LORD Almighty will prepare 7 On this mountain he will destroy 8 he will swallow up death forever. 9 In that day they will say, 10 The hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain; 11 They will spread out their hands in it, 12 He will bring down your high fortified walls

The LORD’s Devastation of the Earth
and devastate it;
he will ruin its face
and scatter its inhabitants-
for priest as for people,
for master as for servant,
for mistress as for maid,
for seller as for buyer,
for borrower as for lender,
for debtor as for creditor.
and totally plundered.
The LORD has spoken this word.
the world languishes and withers,
the exalted of the earth languish.
they have disobeyed the laws,
violated the statutes
and broken the everlasting covenant.
its people must bear their guilt.
Therefore earth’s inhabitants are burned up,
and very few are left.
all the merrymakers groan.
the noise of the revelers has stopped,
the joyful harp is silent.
the beer is bitter to its drinkers.
the entrance to every house is barred.
all joy turns to gloom,
all gaiety is banished from the earth.
its gate is battered to pieces.
and among the nations,
as when an olive tree is beaten,
or as when gleanings are left after the grape harvest.
from the west they acclaim the LORD’s majesty.
exalt the name of the LORD, the God of Israel,
in the islands of the sea.
“Glory to the Righteous One.”
But I said, “I waste away, I waste away!
Woe to me!
The treacherous betray!
With treachery the treacherous betray!”
O people of the earth.
will fall into a pit;
whoever climbs out of the pit
will be caught in a snare.
The floodgates of the heavens are opened,
the foundations of the earth shake.
the earth is split asunder,
the earth is thoroughly shaken.
it sways like a hut in the wind;
so heavy upon it is the guilt of its rebellion
that it fallsónever to rise again.
the powers in the heavens above
and the kings on the earth below.
like prisoners bound in a dungeon;
they will be shut up in prison
and be punished [a]after many days.
for the LORD Almighty will reign
on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,
and before its elders, gloriously.Isaiah 25
Praise to the LORD
I will exalt you and praise your name,
for in perfect faithfulness
you have done marvelous things,
things planned long ago.
the fortified town a ruin,
the foreigners’ stronghold a city no more;
it will never be rebuilt.
cities of ruthless nations will revere you.
a refuge for the needy in his distress,
a shelter from the storm
and a shade from the heat.
For the breath of the ruthless
is like a storm driving against a wall
You silence the uproar of foreigners;
as heat is reduced by the shadow of a cloud,
so the song of the ruthless is stilled.
a feast of rich food for all peoples,
a banquet of aged wineó
the best of meats and the finest of wines.
the shroud that enfolds all peoples,
the sheet that covers all nations;
The Sovereign LORD will wipe away the tears
from all faces;
he will remove the disgrace of his people
from all the earth.
The LORD has spoken.
“Surely this is our God;
we trusted in him, and he saved us.
This is the LORD, we trusted in him;
let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.”
but Moab will be trampled under him
as straw is trampled down in the manure.
as a swimmer spreads out his hands to swim.
God will bring down their pride
despite the cleverness [b]of their hands.
and lay them low;
he will bring them down to the ground,
to the very dust.
