Judgment on the Earth

24 Now the Lord makes the earth empty,
    and makes it waste,
and turns it upside down,
    and scatters its inhabitants abroad.
It shall 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 lender, so with the borrower;
    as with the creditor, so with the debtor.
The land shall be utterly emptied,
    and utterly despoiled,
    for the Lord has spoken this word.
