    and devastate^(B) it;
he will ruin its face
    and scatter^(C) its inhabitants—
² it will be the same
    for priest as for people,^(D)
    for the master as for his servant,
    for the mistress as for her servant,
    for seller as for buyer,^(E)
    for borrower as for lender,
    for debtor as for creditor.^(F)
3 The earth will be completely laid waste^(G)
    and totally plundered.^(H)
The Lord has spoken^(I) this word.
