1 Be­hold, the LORD maketh the earth emp­ty, and maketh it waste, and tur­neth it up­side down, and scat­tereth abroad the in­hab­i­tants there­of. 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 the giv­er of usury to him. 3 The land shall be ut­ter­ly emp­tied, and ut­ter­ly spoiled: for the LORD hath spo­ken this word. 4 The earth mour­neth and fadeth away, the world lan­guisheth and fadeth away, the haughty peo­ple of the earth do lan­guish. 5 The earth also is de­filed un­der the in­hab­i­tants there­of; be­cause they have trans­gressed the laws, changed the or­di­nance, bro­ken the ev­er­last­ing covenant. 6 There­fore hath the curse de­voured the earth, and they that dwell there­in are des­o­late: there­fore the in­hab­i­tants of the earth are burned, and few men left. 7 The new wine mour­neth, the vine lan­guisheth, all the mer­ry­heart­ed do sigh. 8 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that re­joice en­deth, the joy of the harp ceaseth. 9 They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bit­ter to them that drink it. 10 The city of con­fu­sion is bro­ken down: ev­ery house is shut up, that no man may come in. 11 There is a cry­ing for wine in the streets; all joy is dark­ened, the mirth of the land is gone. 12 In the city is left des­o­la­tion, and the gate is smit­ten with de­struc­tion. 13 When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the peo­ple, there shall be as the shak­ing of an olive tree, and as the glean­ing grapes when the vin­tage is done. 14 They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea. 15 Where­fore glo­ri­fy ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD God of Is­rael in the isles of the sea. 16 From the ut­ter­most part of the earth have we heard songs, even glo­ry to the righ­teous. But I said, My lean­ness, my lean­ness, woe unto me! the treach­er­ous deal­ers have dealt treach­er­ous­ly; yea, the treach­er­ous deal­ers have dealt very treach­er­ous­ly. 17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O in­hab­i­tant of the earth. 18 And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be tak­en in the snare: for the win­dows from on high are open, and the foun­da­tions of the earth do shake. 19 The earth is ut­ter­ly bro­ken down, the earth is clean dis­solved, the earth is moved ex­ceed­ing­ly. 20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunk­ard, and shall be re­moved like a cot­tage; and the trans­gres­sion there­of shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again. 21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall pun­ish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth. 22 And they shall be gath­ered to­geth­er, as pris­on­ers are gath­ered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and af­ter many days shall they be vis­it­ed. 23 Then the moon shall be con­found­ed, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and be­fore his an­cients glo­ri­ous­ly.
