³ The earth will be completely empty.
    The wealth will all be taken.
    This will happen because the Lord commanded it.
⁴ The earth will dry up and die.
    The world will grow weak and die.
    The great leaders in this land will become weak.
⁵ The people of the earth have ruined it.

They do not obey God’s laws.
    They break their agreement with God that was to last forever.
