[1] Behold, Yahweh makes the earth empty, makes it waste, turns it upside down, and scatters its inhabitants. [2] It will 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 creditor, so with the debtor; as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest. [3] The earth will be utterly emptied and utterly laid waste; for Yahweh has spoken this word. [4] The earth mourns and fades away. The world languishes and fades away. The lofty people of the earth languish. [5] The earth also is polluted under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, and broken the everlasting covenant. [6] Therefore the curse has devoured the earth, and those who dwell therein are found guilty. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left. [7] The new wine mourns. The vine languishes. All the merry-hearted sigh. [8] The mirth of tambourines ceases. The sound of those who rejoice ends. The joy of the harp ceases. [9] They will not drink wine with a song. Strong drink will be bitter to those who drink it. [10] The confused city is broken down. Every house is shut up, that no man may come in. [11] There is a crying in the streets because of the wine. All joy is darkened. The mirth of the land is gone. [12] The city is left in desolation, and the gate is struck with destruction. [13] For it will be so within the earth among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive tree, as the gleanings when the vintage is done. [14] These shall lift up their voice. They will shout for the majesty of Yahweh. They cry aloud from the sea. [15] Therefore glorify Yahweh in the east, even the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea! [16] From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs. Glory to the righteous!But I said, “I pine away! I pine away! woe is me!” The treacherous have dealt treacherously. Yes, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously. [17] Fear, the pit, and the snare are on you who inhabit the earth. [18] It will happen that he who flees from the noise of the fear will fall into the pit; and he who comes up out of the middle of the pit will be taken in the snare; for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble. [19] The earth is utterly broken. The earth is torn apart. The earth is shaken violently. [20] The earth will stagger like a drunken man, and will sway back and forth like a hammock. Its disobedience will be heavy on it, and it will fall and not rise again. [21] It will happen in that day that Yahweh will punish the army of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth on the earth. [22] They will be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and will be shut up in the prison; and after many days they will be visited. [23] Then the moon will be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for Yahweh of Armies will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem; and glory will be before his elders.
King James Version

The Whole World

[1] Behold, the Lord H3068 maketh the earth H776 empty, H1238 and maketh it waste, H1110 and turneth H5753 it upside down, H6440§ and scattereth abroad H6327 the inhabitants H3427 thereof. [2] And it shall be, as with the people, H5971 so with the priest; H3548§ as with the servant, H5650 so with his master; H113 as with the maid, H8198 so with her mistress; H1404 as with the buyer, H7069 so with the seller; H4376 as with the lender, H3867 so with the borrower; H3867 as with the taker of usury, H5383 so H834 with the giver of usury H5378 to him. [3] The land H776 shall be utterly H1238 emptied, H1238 and utterly H962 spoiled: H962 for H3588 the Lord H3068 hath spoken H1696 H853 this H2088 word. H1697 [4] The earth H776 mourneth H56 and fadeth away, H5034 the world H8398 languisheth H535 and fadeth away, H5034 the haughty H4791 people H5971§ of the earth H776 do languish. H535 [5] The earth H776 also is defiled H2610 under the inhabitants H3427 thereof; because they have transgressed H5674 the laws, H8451 changed H2498 the ordinance, H2706 broken H6565 the everlasting H5769 covenant. H1285 [6] Therefore hath the curse H423 devoured H398 the earth, H776 and they that dwell H3427 therein are desolate: H816 therefore the inhabitants H3427 of the earth H776 are burned, H2787 and few H4213 men H582 left. H7604 [7] The new wine H8492 mourneth, H56 the vine H1612 languisheth, H535 all H3605 the merryhearted H8056 H3820 do sigh. H584 [8] The mirth H4885 of tabrets H8596 ceaseth, H7673 the noise H7588 of them that rejoice H5947 endeth, H2308 the joy H4885 of the harp H3658 ceaseth. H7673 [9] They shall H8354 not H3808 drink H8354 wine H3196 with a song; H7892 strong drink H7941 shall be bitter H4843 to them that drink H8354 it. [10] The city H7151 of confusion H8414 is broken down: H7665 every H3605 house H1004 is shut up, H5462 that no man may come in. H935 [11] There is a crying H6682 for wine H3196 in the streets; H2351 all H3605 joy H8057 is darkened, H6150 the mirth H4885 of the land H776 is gone. H1540 [12] In the city H5892 is left H7604 desolation, H8047 and the gate H8179 is smitten H3807 with destruction. H7591 [13] When thus it shall be in the midst H7130 of the land H776 among H8432 the people, H5971 there shall be as the shaking H5363 of an olive tree, H2132 and as the gleaning grapes H5955 when the vintage H1210 is done. H3615 [14] They shall lift up H5375 their voice, H6963 they shall sing H7442 for the majesty H1347 of the Lord, H3068 they shall cry aloud H6670 from the sea. H3220 [15] Wherefore glorify H3513 ye the Lord H3068 in the fires, H217§ even the name H8034 of the Lord H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 in the isles H339 of the sea. H3220 [16] From the uttermost§ part H3671 of the earth H776 have we heard H8085 songs, H2158 even glory H6643 to the righteous. H6662 But I said, H559 My leanness, H7334 my leanness, H7334 woe H188 unto me!§ the treacherous dealers H898 have dealt treacherously; H898 yea, the treacherous dealers H898 have dealt very H899 treacherously. H898 [17] Fear, H6343 and the pit, H6354 and the snare, H6341 are upon thee, O inhabitant H3427 of the earth. H776 [18] And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth H5127 from the noise H6963 of the fear H6343 shall fall H5307 into the pit; H6354 and he that cometh up H5927 out of the midst H8432 of the pit H6354 shall be taken H3920 in the snare: H6341 for H3588 the windows H699 from on high H4791 are open, H6605 and the foundations H4146 of the earth H776 do shake. H7493 [19] The earth H776 is utterly H7489 broken down, H7489 the earth H776 is clean H6565 dissolved, H6565 the earth H776 is moved H4131 exceedingly. H4131 [20] The earth H776 shall reel H5128 to and fro H5128 like a drunkard, H7910 and shall be removed H5110 like a cottage; H4412 and the transgression H6588 thereof shall be heavy H3513 upon H5921 it; and it shall fall, H5307 and not rise H6965 again. H3254 [21] And it shall come to pass in that day, H3117 that the Lord H3068 shall punish H6485§ the host H6635 of the high ones H4791 that are on high, H4791 and the kings H4428 of the earth H127 upon H5921 the earth. H127 [22] And they shall be gathered together, H622 as prisoners H616§ are gathered H626 in the pit, H953§ and shall be shut up H5462 in the prison, H4525 and after many H7230 days H3117 shall they be visited. H6485§ [23] Then the moon H3842 shall be confounded, H2659 and the sun H2535 ashamed, H954 when the Lord H3068 of hosts H6635 shall reign H4427 in mount H2022 Zion, H6726 and in Jerusalem, H3389 and before his ancients H2205 gloriously. H3519§

[1] Ἰδοὺ G2400 κύριος G2962 καταφθείρει G2704 τὴν G3588 οἰκουμένην G3625 καὶ G2532 ἐρημώσει G2049 αὐτὴν G846 καὶ G2532 ἀνακαλύψει G343 τὸ G3588 πρόσωπον G4383 αὐτῆς G846 καὶ G2532 διασπερεῖ G1289 τοὺς G3588 ἐνοικοῦντας G1774 ἐν G1722 αὐτῇ. G846 [2] Καὶ G2532 ἔσται G2071 ὁ G3588 λαὸς G2992 ὡς G5613 ὁ G3588 ἱερεὺς G2409 καὶ G2532 ὁ G3588 παῖς G3816 ὡς G5613 ὁ G3588 κύριος G2962 καὶ G2532 ἡ G3588 θεράπαινα ὡς G5613 ἡ G3588 κυρία, G2959 ἔσται G2071 ὁ G3588 ἀγοράζων G59 ὡς G5613 ὁ G3588 πωλῶν G4453 καὶ G2532 ὁ G3588 δανείζων G1155 ὡς G5613 ὁ G3588 δανειζόμενος G1155 καὶ G2532 ὁ G3588 ὀφείλων G3784 ὡς G5613 ᾧ G3739 ὀφείλει. G3784 [3] Φθορᾷ G5356 φθαρήσεται G5351 ἡ G3588 γῆ, G1093 καὶ G2532 προνομῇ προνομευθήσεται ἡ G3588 γῆ· G1093 τὸ G3588 γὰρ G1063 στόμα G4750 κυρίου G2962 ἐλάλησεν G2980 ταῦτα. G5023 [4] Ἐπένθησεν G3996 ἡ G3588 γῆ, G1093 καὶ G2532 ἐφθάρη G5351 ἡ G3588 οἰκουμένη, G3625 ἐπένθησαν G3996 οἱ G3588 ὑψηλοὶ G5308 τῆς G3588 γῆς. G1093 [5] Ἡ G3588 δὲ G1161 γῆ G1093 ἠνόμησεν διὰ G1223 τοὺς G3588 κατοικοῦντας G2730 αὐτήν, G846 διότι G1360 παρέβησαν G3845 τὸν G3588 νόμον G3551 καὶ G2532 ἤλλαξαν G236 τὰ G3588 προστάγματα, διαθήκην G1242 αἰώνιον. G166 [6] Διὰ G1223 τοῦτο G5124 ἀρὰ G685 ἔδεται τὴν G3588 γῆν, G1093 ὅτι G3754 ἡμάρτοσαν G264 οἱ G3588 κατοικοῦντες G2730 αὐτήν· G846 διὰ G1223 τοῦτο G5124 πτωχοὶ G4434 ἔσονται G2071 οἱ G3588 ἐνοικοῦντες G1774 ἐν G1722 τῇ G3588 γῇ, G1093 καὶ G2532 καταλειφθήσονται G2641 ἄνθρωποι G444 ὀλίγοι. G3641 [7] Πενθήσει G3996 οἶνος, G3631 πενθήσει G3996 ἄμπελος, G288 στενάξουσιν G4727 πάντες G3956 οἱ G3588 εὐφραινόμενοι G2165 τὴν G3588 ψυχήν. G5590 [8] Πέπαυται G3973 εὐφροσύνη G2167 τυμπάνων, πέπαυται G3973 αὐθάδεια καὶ G2532 πλοῦτος G4149 ἀσεβῶν, G765 πέπαυται G3973 φωνὴ G5456 κιθάρας. G2788 [9] ᾘσχύνθησαν, G153 οὐκ G3756 ἔπιον G4095 οἶνον, G3631 πικρὸν G4089 ἐγένετο G1096 τὸ G3588 σικερα G4608 τοῖς G3588 πίνουσιν. G4095 [10] Ἠρημώθη G2049 πᾶσα G3956 πόλις, G4172 κλείσει G2808 οἰκίαν G3614 τοῦ G3588 μὴ G3361 εἰσελθεῖν. G1525 [11] Ὀλολύζετε G3649 περὶ G4012 τοῦ G3588 οἴνου G3631 πανταχῇ· G3837 πέπαυται G3973 πᾶσα G3956 εὐφροσύνη G2167 τῆς G3588 γῆς. G1093 [12] Καὶ G2532 καταλειφθήσονται G2641 πόλεις G4172 ἔρημοι, G2048 καὶ G2532 οἶκοι G3624 ἐγκαταλελειμμένοι G1459 ἀπολοῦνται. G622 [13] Ταῦτα G5023 πάντα G3956 ἔσται G2071 ἐν G1722 τῇ G3588 γῇ G1093 ἐν G1722 μέσῳ G3319 τῶν G3588 ἐθνῶν, G1484 ὃν G3739 τρόπον G5158 ἐάν G1437 τις G5100 καλαμήσηται ἐλαίαν, G1636 οὕτως G3779 καλαμήσονται αὐτούς, G846 καὶ G2532 ἐὰν G1437 παύσηται G3973 ὁ G3588 τρύγητος. [14] Οὗτοι G3778 φωνῇ G5456 βοήσονται, G994 οἱ G3588 δὲ G1161 καταλειφθέντες G2641 ἐπὶ G1909 τῆς G3588 γῆς G1093 εὐφρανθήσονται G2165 ἅμα G260 τῇ G3588 δόξῃ G1391 κυρίου. G2962 Ταραχθήσεται G5015 τὸ G3588 ὕδωρ G5204 τῆς G3588 θαλάσσης· G2281 [15] διὰ G1223 τοῦτο G5124 ἡ G3588 δόξα G1391 κυρίου G2962 ἐν G1722 ταῖς G3588 νήσοις G3520 ἔσται G2071 τῆς G3588 θαλάσσης, G2281 τὸ G3588 ὄνομα G3686 κυρίου G2962 ἔνδοξον G1741 ἔσται G2071 Κύριε G2962 ὁ G3588 θεὸς G2316 Ισραηλ. G2474 [16] Ἀπὸ G575 τῶν G3588 πτερύγων G4420 τῆς G3588 γῆς G1093 τέρατα G5059 ἠκούσαμεν G191 Ἐλπὶς G1680 τῷ G3588 εὐσεβεῖ. G2151 Καὶ G2532 ἐροῦσιν G2046 Οὐαὶ G3759 τοῖς G3588 ἀθετοῦσιν, G114 οἱ G3588 ἀθετοῦντες G114 τὸν G3588 νόμον. G3551 [17] Φόβος G5401 καὶ G2532 βόθυνος G999 καὶ G2532 παγὶς G3803 ἐφ’ G1909 ὑμᾶς G5209 τοὺς G3588 ἐνοικοῦντας G1774 ἐπὶ G1909 τῆς G3588 γῆς· G1093 [18] καὶ G2532 ἔσται G2071 ὁ G3588 φεύγων G5343 τὸν G3588 φόβον G5401 ἐμπεσεῖται G1706 εἰς G1519 τὸν G3588 βόθυνον, G999 ὁ G3588 δὲ G1161 ἐκβαίνων ἐκ G1537 τοῦ G3588 βοθύνου G999 ἁλώσεται ὑπὸ G5259 τῆς G3588 παγίδος, G3803 ὅτι G3754 θυρίδες G2376 ἐκ G1537 τοῦ G3588 οὐρανοῦ G3772 ἠνεῴχθησαν, G455 καὶ G2532 σεισθήσεται G4579 τὰ G3588 θεμέλια G2310 τῆς G3588 γῆς. G1093 [19] Ταραχῇ G5016 ταραχθήσεται G5015 ἡ G3588 γῆ, G1093 καὶ G2532 ἀπορίᾳ G640 ἀπορηθήσεται G639 ἡ G3588 γῆ· G1093 [20] ἔκλινεν G2827 καὶ G2532 σεισθήσεται G4579 ὡς G5613 ὀπωροφυλάκιον ἡ G3588 γῆ G1093 ὡς G5613 ὁ G3588 μεθύων G3184 καὶ G2532 κραιπαλῶν καὶ G2532 πεσεῖται G4098 καὶ G2532 οὐ G3756 μὴ G3361 δύνηται G1410 ἀναστῆναι, G450 κατίσχυσεν G2729 γὰρ G1063 ἐπ’ G1909 αὐτῆς G846 ἡ G3588 ἀνομία. G458 [21] Καὶ G2532 ἐπάξει G1863 ὁ G3588 θεὸς G2316 ἐπὶ G1909 τὸν G3588 κόσμον G2889 τοῦ G3588 οὐρανοῦ G3772 τὴν G3588 χεῖρα G5495 καὶ G2532 ἐπὶ G1909 τοὺς G3588 βασιλεῖς G935 τῆς G3588 γῆς· G1093 [22] καὶ G2532 συνάξουσιν G4863 καὶ G2532 ἀποκλείσουσιν G608 εἰς G1519 ὀχύρωμα G3794 καὶ G2532 εἰς G1519 δεσμωτήριον, G1201 διὰ G1223 πολλῶν G4183 γενεῶν G1074 ἐπισκοπὴ G1984 ἔσται G2071 αὐτῶν. G846 [23] Καὶ G2532 τακήσεται G5080 ἡ G3588 πλίνθος, καὶ G2532 πεσεῖται G4098 τὸ G3588 τεῖχος, G5038 ὅτι G3754 βασιλεύσει G936 κύριος G2962 ἐν G1722 Σιων G4622 καὶ G2532 ἐν G1722 Ιερουσαλημ G2419 καὶ G2532 ἐνώπιον G1799 τῶν G3588 πρεσβυτέρων G4245 δοξασθήσεται.
