Isaiah 24:4-6

Common English Bible

⁴ The earth dries up and wilts;
    the world withers and wilts;
    the heavens wither away with the earth.
⁵ The earth lies polluted under its inhabitants,
    for they have disobeyed instruction,
    swept aside law,
    and broken the ancient covenant.
⁶ Therefore, a curse devours the earth; its inhabitants suffer for their guilt.
Therefore, the earth’s inhabitants dwindle; very few are left.
