Isaiah24:20

20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard , and shall be removed like a cottage , and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it , and it shall fall, and not rise again.

The People of the Earth.

Shall be sorely perplexed and distressed, not knowing whither to go, nor what to do.

Or, like a lodge in a Garden, of which this Word is used Isa. 1. 8. which is soon taken down, and set up in another place, as occasion requires. Or, as others render it, like a tent, which is easily and commonly carried from place to place.

Those Sins which they formerly esteemed light and pleasant, shall now be most burdensom and grievous to them, because of the dreadful punishments which shall follow them.
