Isaiah 24:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵ And the earth is infected by the inhabitants thereof: because they have transgressed the laws, they have changed the ordinance, they have broken the everlasting covenant.

⁶ Therefore shall a curse devour the earth, and the inhabitants thereof shall sin: and therefore they that dwell therein shall be mad, and few men shall be left.

⁷ The vintage hath mourned, the vine hath languished away, all the merryhearted have sighed.
