2. And it shall be – as with the people so with the priest, as with the servant so with his master, as with the female servant so with her mistress, as with the buyer so with the seller, as with the lender so with the borrower, as with the creditor so with the debtor;
3. the earth is completely emptied and utterly plundered, for יהוה has spoken this word.
4. The earth shall mourn and wither, the world shall languish and wither, the haughty people of the earth shall languish.
5. For the earth has been defiled under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the Torot, changed the law, broken the everlasting covenant.
6. Therefore a curse shall consume the earth, and those who dwell in it be punished. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth shall be burned, and few men shall be left.
7. The new wine shall fail, the vine shall languish, all those glad at heart shall sigh.
8. The joy of the tambourine shall cease, the noise of those who rejoice shall end, the joy of the lyre shall cease.
