Behold,H2009 the LORDH3068 makes the earthH776 empty,H1238 and makes it waste,H1110 and turnsH5753 it upsideH5921 H6440 down, and scattersH6327 abroadH6327 the inhabitantsH3427 thereof.
2
And it shall be, as with the people,H5971 so with the priest;H3548 as with the servant,H5650 so with his master;H113 as with the maid,H8198 so with her mistress;H1404 as with the buyer,H7069 so with the seller;H4376 as with the lender,H3867 so with the borrower;H3867 as with the taker of usury,H5383 so with the giver of usuryH5378 to him.
3
The landH776 shall be utterly emptied,H1238 and utterly spoiled:H962 for the LORDH3068 has spokenH1696 thisH2088 word.H1697
4
The earthH776 mournsH56 and fadesH5034 away, the worldH8398 languishesH535 and fadesH5034 away, the haughtyH4791 peopleH5971 of the earthH776 do languish.H535
5
The earthH776 also is defiledH2610 underH8478 the inhabitantsH3427 thereof; becauseH3588 they have transgressedH5674 the laws,H8451 changedH2498 the ordinance,H2706 brokenH6565 the everlastingH5769 covenant.H1285
6
ThereforeH5921 H3651 has the curseH423 devouredH398 the earth,H776 and they that dwellH3427 therein are desolate:H816 thereforeH5921 H3651 the inhabitantsH3427 of the earthH776 are burned,H2787 and fewH4213 menH582 left.H7604
7
The newH8492 wineH8492 mourns,H56 the vineH1612 languishes,H535 allH3605 the merry heartedH8056 H3820 do sigh.H584
8
The mirthH4885 of tabretsH8596 ceases,H7673 the noiseH7588 of them that rejoiceH5947 ends,H2308 the joyH4885 of the harpH3658 ceases.H7673
9
They shall not drinkH8354 wineH3196 with a song;H7892 strong drinkH7941 shall be bitterH4843 to them that drinkH8354 it.
10
The cityH7151 of confusionH8414 is brokenH7665 down: everyH3605 houseH1004 is shutH5462 up, that no manH935 may comeH935 in.
11
There is a cryingH6682 for wineH3196 in the streets;H2351 allH3605 joyH8057 is darkened,H6150 the mirthH4885 of the landH776 is gone.H1540
12
In the cityH5892 is leftH7604 desolation,H8047 and the gateH8179 is smittenH3807 with destruction.H7591
13
WhenH3588 thusH3541 it shall be in the middleH7130 of the landH776 amongH8432 the people,H5971 there shall be as the shakingH5363 of an oliveH2132 tree, and as the gleaningH5955 grapes whenH518 the vintageH1210 is done.H3615
14
They shall liftH5375 up their voice,H6963 they shall singH7442 for the majestyH1347 of the LORD,H3068 they shall cryH6670 aloudH6670 from the sea.H3220
15
WhyH5921 H3651 glorifyH3513 you the LORDH3068 in the fires,H217 even the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 in the islesH339 of the sea.H3220
16
From the uttermostH3671 part of the earthH776 have we heardH8085 songs,H2158 even gloryH6643 to the righteous.H6662 But I said,H559 My leanness,H7334 my leanness,H7334 woeH188 to me! the treacherousH898 dealers have dealt treacherously;H898 yes, the treacherousH898 dealers have dealt veryH899 treacherously.H898
17
Fear,H6343 and the pit,H6354 and the snare,H6341 are on you, O inhabitantH3427 of the earth.H776
18
And it shall comeH1961 to pass, that he who fleesH5127 from the noiseH6963 of the fearH6343 shall fallH5307 intoH413 the pit;H6354 and he that comesH5927 up out of the middleH8432 of the pitH6354 shall be takenH3920 in the snare:H6341 for the windowsH699 from on highH4791 are open,H6605 and the foundationsH4146 of the earthH776 do shake.H7493
19
The earthH776 is utterly brokenH7489 down, the earthH776 is cleanH6565 dissolved,H6565 the earthH776 is movedH4132 exceedingly.
20
The earthH776 shall reelH5128 to and fro like a drunkard,H7910 and shall be removedH5110 like a cottage;H4412 and the transgressionH6588 thereof shall be heavyH3513 on it; and it shall fall,H5307 and not riseH6965 again.H3254
21
And it shall comeH1961 to pass in that day,H3117 that the LORDH3068 shall punishH6485 the hostH6635 of the highH4791 ones that are on high,H4791 and the kingsH4428 of the earthH127 on the earth.H127
22
And they shall be gatheredH622 together, as prisonersH616 are gatheredH626 in the pit,H953 and shall be shutH5462 up in the prison,H4525 and after manyH7230 daysH3117 shall they be visited.H6485
23
Then the moonH3842 shall be confounded,H2659 and the sunH2535 ashamed,H954 whenH3588 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 shall reignH4427 in mountH2022 Zion,H6726 and in Jerusalem,H3389 and beforeH5048 his ancientsH2204 gloriously.H3519
