The earth mourns and fades

The world languishes

Both heaven and earth languish

The earth is polluted because of its inhabitants

For they have transgressed laws

Broken the ancient covenant

Therefore they who dwell on earth have dwindled

Only a few are left

Nothing remains but desolation

See! The Lord is about to empty the earth and lay it waste

He will twist its surface, and scatter its inhabitants

The earth shall be utterly laid waste

Utterly stripped

Therefore a curse devours the earth

And its inhabitants pay for their guilt

For thus it shall be in the midst of the earth

Among the peoples...

From the end of the earth

We hear songs

But I said, "I am wasted, wasted away"

Woe is me!

The traitors betray...

Therefore a curse devours the earth

And its inhabitants pay for their guilt

For thus it shall be in the midst of the earth

Among the peoples...
