1. Hinei, Hashem maketh Ha'Aretz empty, and maketh it waste, and ruineth her face, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.
2. And it shall be, as with HaAm, so with the kohen; as with the eved, so with his adonim; as with the shifcha (maid), so with her gevirah (mistress); as with the koneh (buyer), so with the mokher (seller); as with the malveh (lender) so with the loveh (borrower); as with the nosheh (creditor), so with the one owing him.
3. HaAretz shall be utterly emptied, and utterly plundered; for Hashem hath spoken this davar (word).
4. Ha'aretz mourneth and fadeth away, the tevel (world) languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty Am HaAretz do languish.
5. Ha'aretz also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed torot, changed chok (ordinance), broken the Brit Olam.
