4 The earth dries up and withers,

the world languishes and withers,

the heavens languish with the earth.

5 The earth is defiled by its people;

they have disobeyed the laws,

violated the statutes

and broken the everlasting covenant.

6 Therefore a curse consumes the earth;

its people must bear their guilt.

Therefore earth’s inhabitants are burned up,

and very few are left.

4 The earth mourns and withers;

the world languishes and withers;

the highest people of the earth languish.

5 The earth lies defiled

under its inhabitants;

for they have transgressed the laws,

violated the statutes,

broken the everlasting covenant.

6 Therefore a curse devours the earth,

and its inhabitants suffer for their guilt;

therefore the inhabitants of the earth are scorched,

and few men are left.

4 The earth mourneth and fadeth away,

The world languisheth and fadeth away,

The haughty people of the earth do languish.

5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof;

Because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance,

Broken the everlasting covenant.

6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth,

And they that dwell therein are desolate:

Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned,

And few men left.

4 The earth mourns and dries up,

and the land wastes away and withers.

Even the greatest people on earth waste away.

5 The earth suffers for the sins of its people,

for they have twisted God’s instructions,

violated his laws,

and broken his everlasting covenant.

6 Therefore, a curse consumes the earth.

Its people must pay the price for their sin.

They are destroyed by fire,

and only a few are left alive.

4 The earth will dry up and die;

the world will grow weak and die;

the great leaders in this land will become weak.

5 The people of the earth have ruined it,

because they do not follow God’s teachings

or obey God’s laws

or keep their agreement with God that was to last forever.

6 So a curse will destroy the earth.

The people of the world are guilty,

so they will be burned up;

only a few will be left.

4 The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the lofty people of the earth do languish. 5 The earth also is polluted under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, broken the everlasting covenant. 6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are found guilty: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.

4 The land mourneth, it fadeth away; the world languisheth, it fadeth away: the haughty people of the land do languish. 5 And the land is polluted under the inhabitants thereof; for they have violated the laws, changed the statute, broken the everlasting covenant. 6 Therefore doth the curse devour the earth, and they that dwell therein are held guilty; therefore the inhabitants of the earth are consumed, and few men are left.

4 The earth dries up and withers. 

The world wastes away and withers. 

The great leaders of the earth waste away. 

5 The earth is polluted by those who live on it 

because they’ve disobeyed the Lord’s teachings, 

violated his laws, 

and rejected the everlasting promise.

6 That is why a curse devours the earth, 

and its people are punished for their guilt. 

That is why those who live on the earth are burned up, 

and only a few people are left. 

4 The earth mourns and withers;

the world wastes away and withers;

the exalted people of the earth waste away.

5 The earth is polluted by its inhabitants,

for they have transgressed teachings,

overstepped decrees,

and broken the everlasting covenant.

6 Therefore a curse has consumed the earth,

and its inhabitants have become guilty;

the earth’s inhabitants have been burned,

and only a few survive.

4 The earth dries up and withers,

the world languishes and withers;

the heavens languish together with the earth.

5 The earth lies polluted

under its inhabitants;

for they have transgressed laws,

violated the statutes,

broken the everlasting covenant.

6 Therefore a curse devours the earth,

and its inhabitants suffer for their guilt;

therefore the inhabitants of the earth dwindled,

and few people are left.

4 The earth dries up, it withers;

the world languishes, it withers.

The elevated of the people of the earth languish,

5 and the earth is defiled beneath its inhabitants.

For they have transgressed laws;

they have passed by statutes;

they have broken the everlasting covenant.

6 Therefore a curse devours the earth,

and the inhabitants in it suffer for their guilt.

Therefore the inhabitants of the earth burn,

and few men are left.

4 The earth will dry up completely.

The world will dry up and waste away.

The most important people on earth will fade away.

5 The earth is polluted by its people.

They haven’t obeyed the laws of the Lord.

They haven’t done what he told them to do.

They’ve broken the covenant that will last forever.

6 So the Lord will send a curse on the earth.

Its people will pay for what they’ve done.

They will be burned up.

Very few of them will be left.

4 The earth mourns and withers, the world fades and withers, the exalted of the people of the earth fade away.

5 The earth is also polluted by its inhabitants, for they transgressed laws, violated statutes, broke the everlasting covenant.

6 Therefore, a curse devours the earth, and those who live in it are held guilty. Therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left.
