² 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 him from whom usury is taken.

³ The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled; for Jehovah hath spoken this word.

⁴ The land mourneth, it fadeth away; the world languisheth, it fadeth away: the haughty people of the land do languish.
