1. Behold, Adonai makes the land empty and makes it waste, twists its face, and scatters its inhabitants.
2. So it shall be: as with the people, so with the kohen, as with a servant, so with his master, as with a maid, so with her mistress, as with a buyer, so with the seller, as with a lender, so with the borrower, as with a creditor, so with the debtor.
3. The land will be utterly emptied, and totally plundered. For Adonai has spoken this word.
