servant and master,
female servant and mistress,
buyer and seller,
lender and borrower,

The earth will be stripped completely bare
and will be totally plundered,
for the Lord has spoken this message.(A)

The earth mourns and withers;
the world wastes away and withers;
the exalted people of the earth waste away.

    as with the slave, so with his master;
    as with the maid, so with her mistress;
(B)as with the buyer, so with the seller;
    as with the lender, so with the borrower;
    (C)as with the creditor, so with the debtor.
(D)The earth shall be utterly empty and utterly plundered;
    (E)for the Lord has spoken this word.

(F)The earth mourns and withers;
    the world languishes and withers;
    the highest people of the earth languish.

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.
