Isaiah 24:1–6
24 Look, the Lord is stripping the earth bare
and making it desolate.
He will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants:
servant and master,
female servant and mistress,
buyer and seller,
lender and borrower,
creditor and debtor.
3 The earth will be stripped completely bare
and will be totally plundered,
for the Lord has spoken this message.c
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,d
for they have transgressed teachings,
overstepped decrees,
and broken the permanent covenant.e
6 Therefore a curse has consumed the earth,f
and its inhabitants have become guilty;
the earth’s inhabitants have been burned,
and only a few survive.
