In context
1 Behold, the LORD makes the earth empty, makes it waste, turns it upside down, and scatters its inhabitants.
2 It will be as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the creditor, so with the debtor; as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest.
3 The earth will be utterly emptied and utterly laid waste; for the LORD has spoken this word.
4 The earth mourns and fades away. The world languishes and fades away. The lofty people of the earth languish.
