- Behold, the LORD lays the earth waste, devastates it, distorts its surface and scatters its inhabitants.
- And the people will be like the priest, the servant like his master, the maid like her mistress, the buyer like the seller, the lender like the borrower, the creditor like the debtor.
- The earth will be completely laid waste and completely despoiled, for the LORD has spoken this word.
- The earth mourns and withers, the world fades and withers, the exalted of the people of the earth fade away.
- The earth is also polluted by its inhabitants, for they transgressed laws, violated statutes, broke the everlasting covenant.

- 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.
