\q1
|
|
\v 1 Look, Yahweh is about to empty the earth, to devastate it, mar its surface, and scatter its inhabitants.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 It will come about that, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress;
|
|
\q1 as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the creditor, so with the debtor; as with the receiver of interest, so with the giver of interest.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 3 The earth will be completely devastated and completely stripped;
|
|
\q1 for Yahweh has spoken this word.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 The earth dries up and withers, the world shrivels up and fades away,
|
|
\q1 the prominent people of the earth waste away.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 The earth is polluted by its inhabitants because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes,
|
|
\q1 and broken the everlasting covenant.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 Therefore a curse devours the earth, and its inhabitants are found guilty.
|
|
\q1 The inhabitants of the earth burn up, and few people are left.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 The new wine dries up, the vine withers, all the merry-hearted groan.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 The happy sound of the tambourines stops, and the revelry of those who rejoice;
|
|
\q1 the joy of the lyre ceases.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 They no longer drink wine and sing, and the beer is bitter to those who drink it.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 The city of chaos has been broken down; every house is closed up and empty.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 There is a crying in the streets because of the wine;
|
|
\q1 all joy is darkened, the gladness of the land has disappeared.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 12 In the city is left a desolation, and the gate is broken into a ruin.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 13 For this is how it will be on the whole earth among the nations,
|
|
\q1 as when an olive tree is beaten, as the gleanings when the grape harvest is done.
|
|
|
|
\s5

\q1
|
|
\v 14 They will lift up their voices and shout the majesty of Yahweh,
|
|
\q1 and will joyfully shout from the sea.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 15 Therefore in the east glorify Yahweh,
|
|
\q1 and in the isles of the sea give glory to the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 16 From the farthest part of the earth we have heard songs, "Glory to the righteous one!"
|
|
\q1 But I said, "I have wasted away, I have wasted away, woe is me! The treacherous have dealt treacherously;
|
|
\q1 yes, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 17 Terror, the pit, and the snare are upon you, inhabitants of the earth.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 18 He who flees from the sound of terror will fall into the pit,
|
|
\q1 and he who comes up out of the middle of the pit will be caught in the snare.
|
|
\q1 The windows of the heavens will be opened, and the foundations of the earth will shake.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 19 The earth will be completely broken, the earth ripped apart;
|
|
\q1 the earth will be violently shaken.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 20 The earth will stagger like a drunken man and it will sway back and forth like a hut.
|
|
\q1 Its sin will be heavy on it and it will fall and never rise again.
|
|
|
|
\s5

\m

|
\q1
|
|
\v 21 It will come about on that day that Yahweh will punish the host of the high ones on high,
|
|
\q1 and the kings of the earth on the earth.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 22 They will be gathered together, prisoners in a pit, and will be shut up in a prison;
|
|
\q1 and after many days they will be punished.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 23 Then the moon will be ashamed, and the sun disgraced, for Yahweh of hosts will reign
|
|
\q1 on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before his elders in glory.
