Context Readings

The Judgment On The Earth

3 Yea miserably shall the world be wasted and clean destroyed. For the LORD hath so determined in himself. 4 The earth shall be heavy and decay: The face of the earth shall perish and fall away, the proud people of the world shall come to naught. 5 For the earth is corrupt of her indwellers. For why? They have offended the law, changed the ordinances, and broken the everlasting covenant.
