Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

3 The earth shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled; for the Lord hath spoken this word.

4 The earth mourneth, fadeth ; the world languisheth, fadeth; the highness of the people of the earth languisheth.

5 And the earth is become impious under her inhabitants; for they have transgressed the laws, overstepped the statute, broken the everlasting covenant.

6 Therefore hath a curse devoured the earth, and the inhabitants of it are held guilty; 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.
