1 Look, the Lord is stripping the earth bareand making it desolate.He will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants:
2 people and priest alike,servant and master,female servant and mistress,buyer and seller,lender and borrower,creditor and debtor.
3 The earth will be stripped completely bareand will be totally plundered,for the Lord has spoken this message.
4 The earth mourns and withers;the world wastes away and withers;the exalted people of the earth waste away.
