Impending Judgment on the Earth
Distorts its surface
And scatters abroad its inhabitants.
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.
The world languishes and fades away;
The ahaughty people of the earth languish.
Because they have btransgressed the laws,
Changed the ordinance,
Broken the ceverlasting covenant.
And those who dwell in it are1 desolate.
Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are bburned,
And few men are left.
| << Isaiah 24:2 | Isaiah 24:4 >> |
