Isaiah 24:4-6

The Voice

⁴ So the earth mourns, droops wearily down;
    the world languishes and droops; the high and mighty languish in grief.
⁵ The earth is polluted by those who live on it;
    they pay no attention to God’s teaching.
    They violate His directives and break the everlasting covenant.
⁶ Consequently, a nasty curse consumes the earth,
    and those who inhabit it are to blame for it.
They’ll be burned up,
    leaving very few people to survive.
