Isaiah 24:4-6

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁴ The earth mourns and withers;
the world wastes away and withers;
the exalted people of the earth waste away.
⁵ The earth is polluted by its inhabitants,^(A)
for they have transgressed teachings,
overstepped decrees,
and broken the permanent covenant.^(B)
6 Therefore a curse has consumed the earth,^(C)
and its inhabitants have become guilty;
the earth’s inhabitants have been burned,
and only a few survive.
