*
Behold ,
the LORD will lay waste the earth and make it desolate ,
and he will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants .
*
And it shall be ,
as with the people ,
so with the priest ;
as with the slave ,
so with his master ;
as with the maid ,
so with her mistress ;
as with the buyer ,
so with the seller ;
as with the lender ,
so with the borrower ;
as with the creditor ,
so with the debtor .
*
The earth shall be utterly laid waste and utterly despoiled ;
for the LORD has spoken this word .
*
The earth mourns and withers ,
the world languishes and withers ;
the heavens languish together with the earth .
*
The earth lies polluted under its inhabitants ;
for they have transgressed the laws ,
violated the statutes ,
broken the everlasting covenant .
*
Therefore a curse devours the earth ,
and its inhabitants suffer for their guilt ;
therefore the inhabitants of the earth are scorched ,
and few men are left .
