Isaiah 24:4-6

Lexham English Bible

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;^[a]
    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.^[b]
