4 The earth mourned, and slipped away, and languished. The world slipped away; the loftiness of the people of the earth was weakened. 5 And the earth was corrupted by its inhabitants. For they have transgressed the laws, they have changed the ordinance, they have dissipated the everlasting covenant. 6 Because of this, a curse will devour the earth, and its inhabitants will sin. And for this reason, its caretakers will become crazed, and few men will be left behind. 7 The vintage has mourned. The vine has languished. All those who were rejoicing in their hearts have groaned.
