Isaiah 24:16

New International Reader's Version

From one end of the earth to the other we hear singing. People are saying, “Give glory to the God who always does what is right.” But I said, “I feel very bad. I’m getting weaker and weaker. How terrible it is for me! People turn against one another. They can’t be trusted. So they turn against one another.”
