The land is polluted by its inhabitants,
for they have transgressed Torah,
    violated statutes,
and broken the everlasting covenant.
Therefore a curse will devour the land.
Those dwelling there are found guilty.
Therefore the inhabitants of the land will be burned up,
    so the people remaining are few.
The new wine fails, the vine wilts,
all the merry-hearted sigh.

    all the merrymakers groan.(H)

The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.

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.

The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merryhearted do sigh.
