Impending Judgment on the Earth
1 Behold, the Lord makes the earth empty and makes it waste,
Distorts its surface
And scatters abroad its inhabitants.
Distorts its surface
And scatters abroad its inhabitants.
2 And it shall be:
As with the people, so with the apriest;
As with the servant, so with his master;
As with the maid, so with her mistress;
bAs with the buyer, so with the seller;
As with the lender, so with the borrower;
As with the creditor, so with the debtor.
As with the people, so with the apriest;
As with the servant, so with his master;
As with the maid, so with her mistress;
bAs with the buyer, so with the seller;
As with the lender, so with the borrower;
As with the creditor, so with the debtor.
4 The earth mourns and fades away,
The world languishes and fades away;
The ahaughty people of the earth languish.
The world languishes and fades away;
The ahaughty people of the earth languish.
5 aThe earth is also defiled under its inhabitants,
Because they have btransgressed the laws,
Changed the ordinance,
Broken the ceverlasting covenant.
Because they have btransgressed the laws,
Changed the ordinance,
Broken the ceverlasting covenant.
6 Therefore athe curse has devoured the earth,
And those who dwell in it are1 desolate.
Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are bburned,
And few men are left.
And those who dwell in it are1 desolate.
Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are bburned,
And few men are left.
