1. Hinei, Hashem maketh Ha'Aretz empty, and maketh it waste, and ruineth her face, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.
2. And it shall be, as with HaAm, so with the kohen; as with the eved, so with his adonim; as with the shifcha (maid), so with her gevirah (mistress); as with the koneh (buyer), so with the mokher (seller); as with the malveh (lender) so with the loveh (borrower); as with the nosheh (creditor), so with the one owing him.
3. HaAretz shall be utterly emptied, and utterly plundered; for Hashem hath spoken this davar (word).
4. Ha'aretz mourneth and fadeth away, the tevel (world) languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty Am HaAretz do languish.
