Hear Yahweh’s word, you children of Israel;

    for Yahweh has a charge against the inhabitants of the land:
“Indeed there is no truth,
    nor goodness,
    nor knowledge of God in the land.
There is cursing, lying, murder, stealing, and committing adultery;
    they break boundaries, and bloodshed causes bloodshed.
Therefore the land will mourn,
    and everyone who dwells in it will waste away,
with all living things in her,
    even the animals of the field and the birds of the sky;
    yes, the fish of the sea also die.

Hear the word of Jehovah, ye children of Israel; for Jehovah hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor goodness, nor knowledge of God in the land. There is nought but swearing and breaking faith, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery; they break out, and blood toucheth blood. Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
