The earth will ·dry up [or mourn] and ·die [wither];
    the world will ·grow weak [languish] and ·die [wither];
    the ·great leaders [or heavens; heights; L highest ones] ·in this land [or of the earth] will ·become weak [languish].
The people of the earth have ·ruined [defiled] it,
    because they ·do not follow [have violated/transgressed] ·God’s teachings [the laws/instruction; L Torah]
or obey ·God’s laws [statutes; regulations]
    or keep ·their agreement with God that was to last forever [the eternal covenant/treaty].
So a curse [Deut. 28] will ·destroy [consume; devour] the earth.
    The people of the world ·are guilty [must pay for their guilt],
so ·they [L the earth’s inhabitants] will be burned up;
    only a few will be left.
