Role in This Section

- Isaiah 24:13–23
Read Isaiah 24:22 with 24:13–23. By itself, “And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up…” can be detached from the speaker, addressee, historical horizon, poetic movement, or outcome that gives it force. The complete unit establishes: Sparse gleanings praise from afar, but the speaker laments treachery, earth reels, heavenly and earthly powers are punished, and the LORD reigns in Zion.
Why It Needs Context
The verse is a premise, action, image, response, or transition within Isaiah 24:13–23, not an independent maxim. The universalizing poetic vision carries the next action, claim, image, or measurement through “And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up…” at Isaiah 24:22 as part of “Remnant Songs Meet Cosmic and Royal Judgment.”
