Isaiah 24:20

The Judgment On The Earth

¹⁹
The earth is broken completely apart,
The earth is split apart,
The earth is shaken violently.
²⁰ 
The earth reels back and forth like a drunkard
And sways like a shack;
Its transgression lies heavily upon it,
And it will fall and not rise again.
²¹
So it will happen in that day
That the Lord will visit and punish the host (fallen angels) of heaven on high,
And the kings of the earth on the earth.
