The Judgment on the Earth

24 Look! Yahweh is about to lay the earth waste
    and is about to devastate it,
and he will twist her surface,
    and he will scatter her inhabitants.
And it shall be as with the people, so with the priest;
    as with the slave, so with his master;
as with the female slave, 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 one to whom he lends.
The earth shall be utterly laid waste,
    and it shall be utterly plundered,

for Yahweh has spoken this word.

    and scatter(C) its inhabitants—
it will be the same
    for priest as for people,(D)
    for the master as for his servant,
    for the mistress as for her servant,
    for seller as for buyer,(E)
    for borrower as for lender,
    for debtor as for creditor.(F)
The earth will be completely laid waste(G)
    and totally plundered.(H)
The Lord has spoken(I) this word.
