Isaiah 24:23
21 In that day the LORD will punish the host of heaven above and the kings of the earth below.
22 They will be gathered together like prisoners in a pit. They will be confined to a dungeon and punished after many days.
The moon will be confounded and the sun will be ashamed; for the LORD of Hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before His elders with great glory.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
