Discovery BoxIsaiah 24:20 
Context24:20 The earth will stagger around 1 like a drunk;
it will sway back and forth like a hut in a windstorm. 2
Its sin will weigh it down,
and it will fall and never get up again.
Isaiah 25:2
Context25:2 Indeed, 3 you have made the city 4 into a heap of rubble,
the fortified town into a heap of ruins;
the fortress of foreigners 5 is no longer a city,
it will never be rebuilt.
Isaiah 33:20
Context33:20 Look at Zion, the city where we hold religious festivals!
a peaceful settlement,
a tent that stays put; 8
its stakes will never be pulled up;
none of its ropes will snap in two.
Isaiah 43:17
Context43:17 the one who led chariots and horses to destruction, 9
together with a mighty army.
They fell down, 10 never to rise again;
they were extinguished, put out like a burning wick:
Isaiah 48:5
Context48:5 I announced them to you beforehand;
before they happened, I predicted them for you,
so you could never say,
‘My image did these things,
my idol, my cast image, decreed them.’
Isaiah 62:8
Context62:8 The Lord swears an oath by his right hand,
by his strong arm: 11
“I will never again give your grain
to your enemies as food,
and foreigners will not drink your wine,
which you worked hard to produce.
