Behold, the LORD
maketh the earth
empty,
and maketh it waste,
and turneth
it upside down,
and scattereth abroad
the inhabitants
thereof.
And it shall be, as with the people,
so with the priest;
as with the servant,
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 taker of usury,
so
with the giver of usury
to him.

The land
shall be utterly
emptied,
and utterly
spoiled:
for the LORD
hath spoken
this word.
The earth
mourneth
and fadeth away,
the world
languisheth
and fadeth away,
the haughty
people
of the earth
do languish.
The earth
also is defiled
under the inhabitants
thereof; because they have transgressed
the laws,
changed
the ordinance,
broken
the everlasting
covenant.
Therefore hath the curse
devoured
the earth,
and they that dwell
therein are desolate:
therefore the inhabitants
of the earth
are burned,
and few
men
left.
The new wine
mourneth,
the vine
languisheth,
all the merryhearted
do sigh.
The mirth
of tabrets
ceaseth,
the noise
of them that rejoice
endeth,
the joy
of the harp
ceaseth.
They shall not drink
wine
with a song;
strong drink
shall be bitter
to them that drink
it.
The city
of confusion
is broken down:
every house
is shut up,
that no man may come in.
There is a crying
for wine
in the streets;
all joy
is darkened,
the mirth
of the land
is gone.
In the city
is left
desolation,
and the gate
is smitten
with destruction.
When thus it shall be in the midst
of the land
among
the people,
there shall be as the shaking
of an olive tree,
and as the gleaning grapes
when the vintage
is done.

They shall lift up
their voice,
they shall sing
for the majesty
of the LORD,
they shall cry aloud
from the sea.
Wherefore glorify
ye the LORD
in the fires,
even the name
of the LORD
God
of Israel
in the isles
of the sea.
From the uttermost part
of the earth
have we heard
songs,
even glory
to the righteous.
But I said,
My leanness,
my leanness,
woe
unto me! the treacherous dealers
have dealt treacherously;
yea, the treacherous dealers
have dealt very
treacherously.
Fear,
and the pit,
and the snare,
are upon thee, O inhabitant
of the earth.
And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth
from the noise
of the fear
shall fall
into the pit;
and he that cometh up
out of the midst
of the pit
shall be taken
in the snare:
for the windows
from on high
are open,
and the foundations
of the earth
do shake.

The earth
is utterly
broken down,
the earth
is clean
dissolved,
the earth
is moved
exceedingly.
The earth
shall reel
to and fro
like a drunkard,
and shall be removed
like a cottage;
and the transgression
thereof shall be heavy
upon it; and it shall fall,
and not rise
again.

And it shall come to pass in that day,
that the LORD
shall punish
the host
of the high ones
that are on high,
and the kings
of the earth
upon the earth.
And they shall be gathered together,
as prisoners
are gathered
in the pit,
and shall be shut up
in the prison,
and after many
days
shall they be visited.
Then the moon
shall be confounded,
and the sun
ashamed,
when the LORD
of hosts
shall reign
in mount
Zion,
and in Jerusalem,
and before his ancients
gloriously.
