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.
6. Therefore hath the curse devoured Eretz, and they that dwell therein are guilty; therefore, the inhabitants of her [the earth] are diminished, and few enosh (humankind) left.
7. The tirosh (new wine) faileth, the gefen languisheth, all the simchei-lev (merryhearted) do sigh.
8. The mirth of tambourines ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the kinnor (harp) ceaseth.
9. They shall not drink yayin with a shir (song); shekhar (liquor, strong drink) shall be bitter to them that drink it.
10. The city of tohu is broken; every bais is shut up, that no man may come in.
