The earth shall be utterly laid waste,
    and it shall be utterly plundered,

for Yahweh has spoken this word.

The earth dries up, it withers;
    the world languishes, it withers.
The elevated of the people of the earth languish,
    and the earth is defiled beneath its inhabitants.
For they have transgressed laws;
    they have passed by statutes;[a]
    they have broken the everlasting covenant.
