Isaiah 24:4-6

Modern English Version

⁴ The earth mourns and fades away,
    the world languishes and fades away,
    the haughty people of the earth languish.
⁵ The earth also is defiled by its inhabitants
    because they have transgressed the laws,
violated the ordinances,
    broken the everlasting covenant.
⁶ Therefore, the curse devours the earth,
    and those who dwell in it are held guilty.
Therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned,
    and few men are left.
