Young's Literal Translation
Behold
, the
LORD
maketh
the earth
empty
, and maketh
it waste, and turneth
it upside
down
, and scattereth
abroad
the
inhabitants thereof
.
Lo
, Jehovah
is
emptying
the land
, And is
making
it waste, And hath
overturned
`
it on'
its
face
, And hath
scattered
its
inhabitants.
And it shall
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 lender ,
so with
the borrower ;
as with
the taker
of
usury,
so with
the
giver
of
usury
to
him
.
And it hath
been
--
as a
people so a
priest ,
As the servant so his master ,
As the maid -servant
so her mistress ,
As the buyer so the seller ,
As the lender so the borrower ,
As the usurer
so he
who
is
lifting
`it'
on
himself
.
The
land
shall
be
utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled :
for the
LORD
hath spoken this word .
Utterly emptied is
the
land
, and utterly spoiled ,
For Jehovah
hath spoken this word :
The earth
mourneth
and
fadeth
away
, the world languisheth
and
fadeth
away
, the haughty
people of the earth
do
languish
.
Mourned,
faded
hath
the land
, Languished,
faded
hath
the world, Languished
have
they
--
the high
place
of
the
people of the land
.
The earth
also
is
defiled under the
inhabitants thereof;
because they have transgressed the
laws, changed the
ordinance
, broken
the
everlasting
covenant.
And
the land
hath
been
defiled under its
inhabitants ,
Because they have transgressed laws, They
have
changed a
statute

have
made
void
a
covenant age-during
.
Therefore hath
the
curse devoured
the earth
, and they
that
dwell
therein
are desolate :
therefore the
inhabitants of the earth
are
burned
, and few men left.
Therefore a
curse hath
consumed
the land
, And the
inhabitants
in
it
are become
desolate ,
Therefore consumed
have
been
inhabitants of the land
, And few men have
been
left.
The new wine mourneth
, the vine languisheth
, all the merryhearted
do
sigh
.

The mirth
of tabrets ceaseth
, the noise of them
that
rejoice
endeth
, the joy of the
harp ceaseth
.

hath
the joy
of tabrets, Ceased
hath
the noise of exulting
ones
, Ceased
hath
the joy of a
harp.
They
shall
not
drink
wine
with a song ;
strong
drink shall
be
bitter to
them
that
drink it.
With a song they
drink not
wine,
Bitter is
strong
drink to
those
drinking
it.
The
city
of
confusion
is
broken down :
every house is
shut
up,
that
no
man
may
come
in
.

was
broken down --
a
city
of
emptiness,
Shut
hath

is
a crying
for
wine in the
streets;
all joy is
darkened
, the mirth
of the land is
gone

desolation, and the gate is
smitten with
destruction

When thus it shall
be
in the midst
of the land among
the people
, there
shall
be
as the shaking
of an
olive tree
, and
as the
gleaning
grapes
when the
vintage
is
done.
When thus it is
in the heart
of the land ,
In
the midst
of
the
peoples
, As the compassing
of the
olive, As gleanings
when harvest
hath
been
finished,
They shall
lift up their voice, they shall
sing for
the
majesty
of the LORD
, they shall
cry
aloud from the sea.
They --
they
lift up their voice, They sing of the excellency
of
Jehovah

honour
ye Jehovah,
In isles

From the uttermost
part
of the earth have
we heard songs, even
glory
to
the righteous. But
I said
, My
leanness, my
leanness, woe
unto
me !
the
treacherous dealers have
dealt treacherously ;
yea, the
treacherous dealers have
dealt very
treacherously.
From the skirt
of the earth we heard songs, The desire
of
the
righteous. And
I say
, `
Leanness `is'
to
me
, Leanness `is'
to
me
, wo
`is'
to
me .'
Treacherous dealers dealt treacherously ,
Yea, treachery,
treacherous dealers dealt treacherously.
Fear, and the
pit
, and the
snare
, are upon
thee, O inhabitant of the earth

, and a
gin
, `
Are '
on
thee, O inhabitant of the land
.
And it shall
come to pass, that
he who fleeth
from the noise of the fear shall
fall into the pit;
and he that
cometh
up out
of
the midst of the pit
shall
be
taken
in
the
snare :
for
the windows from
on high are
open
, and the
foundations of the earth
do
shake
.
And it hath
come to pass, He who is
fleeing
from the noise of the fear Doth
fall into the snare,
And he who
is
coming
up from
the midst of the snare ,
Is
captured
by
the gin,
For
windows on high have
been
opened
, And shaken
are
foundations of the land
.

hath
been
the land,

moved hath
been
the
land
.
The earth
shall
reel
to
and
fro
like
a drunkard, and shall
be
removed
like
a cottage;
and the
transgression
thereof
shall
be
heavy upon
it ;
and it shall
fall
, and not rise again
.
Stagger
greatly
doth
the land
as
a drunkard, And it
hath
been
moved
as
a lodge,
And heavy on
it hath
been
its
transgression,
And it hath
fallen
, and addeth
not to
rise.
And it shall
come to pass in that day, that
the
LORD
shall
punish
the host of the high ones
that
are
on
high, and the kings of the earth
upon
the earth
.
And it hath
come to pass ,
in that day, Jehovah
layeth
a
charge
on
the host of the high place
in
the
high place

the kings of the land
on
the land
.
And they shall
be
gathered
together,
as
prisoners
are
gathered in the
pit, and shall
be
shut up in the
prison, and after many
days shall
they
be
visited
.
And they have
been
gathered --
A
gathering
of
bound
ones
in a
pit, And shut up they
have
been
in a
prison, And after a
multitude
of
days are
inspected
.
Then
the moon shall
be
confounded
, and the sun ashamed
, when
the
LORD
of hosts shall
reign
in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before
his ancients
gloriously.

confounded
hath
been
the moon, And ashamed
hath
been
the sun, For
reigned
hath
Jehovah
of Hosts In mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, And over-against
His elders
--
honour!
