Isaiah 24
The LORD has spoken! The earth suffers for the sins of its people, for they have twisted the instructions of God, violated his laws, and broken his everlasting covenant. Therefore, a curse consumes the earth and its people. All the joys of life will be gone. The merrymakers will sigh and mourn. The clash of tambourines will be stilled; the happy cries of celebration will be heard no more. The melodious chords of the harp will be silent. Gone are the joys of wine and song; strong drink now turns bitter in the mouth. The city writhes in chaos; every home is locked to keep out looters. Mobs gather in the streets, crying out for wine. Joy has reached its lowest ebb. Gladness has been banished from the land. The city is left in ruins, with its gates battered down , only a remnant is left.
But all who are left will shout and sing for joy. Those in the west will praise the LORD's majesty. In eastern lands, give glory to the LORD. In the coastlands of the sea, praise the name of the LORD, the God of Israel. 16Listen to them as they sing to the LORD from the ends of the earth. Hear them singing praises to the Righteous One!

Let us all pray for these hundreds of thousands.
