Curse of Empty Land

24 Behold, Adonai makes the land empty
and makes it waste,
twists its face,
and scatters its inhabitants.
So it shall be:
as with the people, so with the kohen,
as with a servant, so with his master,
as with a maid, so with her mistress,
as with a buyer, so with the seller,
as with a lender, so with the borrower,
as with a creditor, so with the debtor.
The land will be utterly emptied,
    and totally plundered.
For Adonai has spoken this word.

    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.
