Isaiah 24:1-6

Authorized (King James) Version

24 Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty,
and maketh it waste,
and turneth it upside down,
and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.
² 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.
³ The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled:
for the Lord hath spoken this word.
⁴ The earth mourneth and fadeth away,
the world languisheth and fadeth away,
the haughty people of the earth do languish.
⁵ The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof;
because they have transgressed the laws,
changed the ordinance,
broken the everlasting covenant.
⁶ 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.
