4 The earth has mourned, faded, || The world has languished, faded, || They have languished—the high place of the people of the earth.

5 And the earth has been defiled under its inhabitants, || Because they have transgressed laws, || They have changed a statute, || They have made void a perpetual covenant.

6 Therefore a curse has consumed the earth, || And the inhabitants in it become desolate, || Therefore inhabitants of the earth have been consumed, || And few men have been left.

7 The new wine has mourned, the vine languished, || All the joyful of heart have sighed.
