| 1 | Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof. | Voici que Yahweh va dévaster la terre entière et la dépeupler; il en bouleversera la face et en dispersera les habitants. | Behold, Jehovah maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof. |
| 2 | And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, 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. | Et il en sera du prêtre comme du peuple, du maître comme de son serviteur, de la maîtresse comme de sa servante, du vendeur comme de l'acheteur, de l'emprunteur comme du prêteur, du débiteur comme du créancier. | And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the creditor, so with the debtor; as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest to him. |
| 3 | The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word. | La terre sera dévastée et livrée au pillage, car Yahweh a prononcé cette parole. | The earth shall be utterly emptied, and utterly laid waste; for Jehovah hath spoken this word. |

| 5 | The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. | La terre a été profanée sous ses habitants ; car ils ont transgressé les lois, violé le commandement, rompu l'alliance éternelle. | The earth also is polluted under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, broken the everlasting covenant. |
| 6 | Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left. | C'est pourquoi la malédiction dévore la terre; et ses habitants portent leur peine. C'est pourquoi les habitants de la terre sont consumés : et ce qui reste de mortels est en petit nombre. | Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are found guilty: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left. |

| 13 | When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done. | Car il en sera au milieu de la terre, parmi les peuples, comme quand on abat des olives, comme quand on grappille après la vendange. | For thus shall it be in the midst of the earth among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive-tree, as the gleanings when the vintage is done. |

| 16 | From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous.

| 18 | And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake. | Celui qui fuira devant le cri d'épouvante tombera dans la fosse, et celui qui remontera du milieu de la fosse sera pris au filet.
