The Judgment On The Earth

2 And it shall be, as with the people so with the priest; as with the slave 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 taker of usury so with the giver of usury to him. 3 The earth will be completely laid waste and completely despoiled, for the Lord has spoken this word. 4 The earth has destroyed itself and fallen; the world has become sick and fallen; the haughty peoples of the earth are become sick.
