Isaiah 24:4-6

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴ The earth mourned, and faded away, and is weakened: the world faded away, the height of the people of the earth is weakened.

⁵ And the earth is infected by the inhabitants thereof: because they have transgressed the laws, they have changed the ordinance, they have broken the everlasting covenant.

⁶ Therefore shall a curse devour the earth, and the inhabitants thereof shall sin: and therefore they that dwell therein shall be mad, and few men shall be left.
