The earth mourns and withers;
the world wastes away and withers;
the exalted people of the earth waste away.
The earth is polluted by its inhabitants,(A)

overstepped decrees,
and broken the everlasting covenant.(B)
Therefore a curse has consumed the earth,(C)

the earth’s inhabitants have been burned,
and only a few survive.
The new wine mourns;(D)
the vine withers.
All the carousers now groan.
