5The earth lies polluted

under its inhabitants;

for they have transgressed the laws,

violated the statutes,

broken the everlasting covenant.

6Therefore 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.
