Isaiah 24:14
ESV They lift up their voices, they sing for joy; over the majesty of the LORD they shout from the west.
NIV They raise their voices, they shout for joy; from the west they acclaim the LORD's majesty.
NASB They raise their voices, they shout for joy; They cry out from the west concerning the majesty of the Lord.
CSB They raise their voices, they sing out; they proclaim in the west the majesty of the Lord.
NLT But all who are left shout and sing for joy. Those in the west praise the Lord’s majesty.
KJV They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.

What does Isaiah 24:14 mean?

The change of tone from the prior verse (Isaiah 24:13) is shocking. Isaiah has been describing the wretched sadness and gloom of survivors on earth as they languish in their torment. They live out their days without protection, resources, or happiness: cowering behind locked doors in the ruins of civilization (Isaiah 24:6–11).

Then, suddenly, another group calls out, in celebration. Whoever they are, they shout from the west in praise of the majesty of the Lord. After all that has happened, some on earth are not waiting for wine to join in song together. The gladness has not been banished from this pocket of people. These have come to faith in the Lord even in this time of judgment and now praise Him for His justice in ridding the world of sin.

The contrast between those who live in the light of the Lord (John 8:12) and those who live under the gloom of their own stubborn sinfulness could not be more obvious.
