1Behold, the LORD3068 maketh the earth776 empty1238, and maketh it waste1110, and turneth5753 it upside down6440, and scattereth abroad6327 the inhabitants3427 thereof.
2And it shall be, as with the people5971, so with the priest3548; as with the servant5650, so with his master113; as with the maid8198, so with her mistress1404; as with the buyer7069, so with the seller4376; as with the lender3867, so with the borrower3867; as with the taker of usury5383, so834 with the giver of usury5378 to him.
3The land776 shall be utterly1238 emptied1238, and utterly962 spoiled962: for the LORD3068 hath spoken1696 this word1697.
4The earth776 mourneth56 and fadeth away5034, the world8398 languisheth535 and fadeth away5034, the haughty4791 people5971 of the earth776 do languish535.
5The earth776 also is defiled2610 under the inhabitants3427 thereof; because they have transgressed5674 the laws8451, changed2498 the ordinance2706, broken6565 the everlasting5769 covenant1285.
6Therefore hath the curse423 devoured398 the earth776, and they that dwell3427 therein are desolate816: therefore the inhabitants3427 of the earth776 are burned2787, and few4213 men582 left7604.
7The new wine8492 mourneth56, the vine1612 languisheth535, all the merryhearted8056 3820 do sigh584.
8The mirth4885 of tabrets8596 ceaseth7673, the noise7588 of them that rejoice5947 endeth2308, the joy4885 of the harp3658 ceaseth7673.
9They shall not drink8354 wine3196 with a song7892; strong drink7941 shall be bitter4843 to them that drink8354 it.
10The city7151 of confusion8414 is broken down7665: every house1004 is shut up5462, that no man may come in935.
11There is a crying6682 for wine3196 in the streets2351; all joy8057 is darkened6150, the mirth4885 of the land776 is gone1540.
12In the city5892 is left7604 desolation8047, and the gate8179 is smitten3807 with destruction7591.
13When thus it shall be in the midst7130 of the land776 among8432 the people5971, there shall be as the shaking5363 of an olive tree2132, and as the gleaning grapes5955 when the vintage1210 is done3615.
14They shall lift up5375 their voice6963, they shall sing7442 for the majesty1347 of the LORD3068, they shall cry aloud6670 from the sea3220.
15Wherefore glorify3513 ye the LORD3068 in the fires217, even the name8034 of the LORD3068 God430 of Israel3478 in the isles339 of the sea3220.
16From the uttermost part3671 of the earth776 have we heard8085 songs2158, even glory6643 to the righteous6662. But I said559, My leanness7334, my leanness7334, woe188 unto me! the treacherous dealers898 have dealt treacherously898; yea, the treacherous dealers898 have dealt very899 treacherously898.
17Fear6343, and the pit6354, and the snare6341, are upon thee, O inhabitant3427 of the earth776.
18And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth5127 from the noise6963 of the fear6343 shall fall5307 into the pit6354; and he that cometh up5927 out of the midst8432 of the pit6354 shall be taken3920 in the snare6341: for the windows699 from on high4791 are open6605, and the foundations4146 of the earth776 do shake7493.
19The earth776 is utterly7489 broken down7489, the earth776 is clean6565 dissolved6565, the earth776 is moved4131 exceedingly4131.
20The earth776 shall reel5128 to and fro5128 like a drunkard7910, and shall be removed5110 like a cottage4412; and the transgression6588 thereof shall be heavy3513 upon it; and it shall fall5307, and not rise6965 again3254.
21And it shall come to pass in that day3117, that the LORD3068 shall punish6485 the host6635 of the high ones4791 that are on high4791, and the kings4428 of the earth127 upon the earth127.
22And they shall be gathered together622, as prisoners616 are gathered626 in the pit953, and shall be shut up5462 in the prison4525, and after many7230 days3117 shall they be visited6485.
23Then the moon3842 shall be confounded2659, and the sun2535 ashamed954, when the LORD3068 of hosts6635 shall reign4427 in mount2022 Zion6726, and in Jerusalem3389, and before his ancients2205 gloriously3519.
