¹看哪，耶和华使地空虚，变为荒凉；又翻转大地，将居民分散。Behold, the LORD lays waste the earth and leaves it in ruins. He will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants—

²那时百姓怎样，祭司也怎样；仆人怎样，主人也怎样；婢女怎样，主母也怎样；买物的怎样，卖物的也怎样；放债的怎样，借债的也怎样；取利的怎样，出利的也怎样。people and priest alike, servant and master, maid and mistress, buyer and seller, lender and borrower, creditor and debtor.

³地必全然空虚，尽都荒凉；因为这话是耶和华说的。The earth will be utterly laid waste and thoroughly plundered. For the LORD has spoken this word.

从地极有人歌唱

¹⁴这些人要高声欢呼；他们为耶和华的威严，从海那里扬起声来。They raise their voices, they shout for joy; from the west they proclaim the majesty of the LORD.

²你使城变为乱堆，使坚固城变为荒场，使外邦人宫殿的城不再为城，永远不再建造。Indeed, You have made the city a heap of rubble, the fortified town a ruin. The fortress of strangers is a city no more; it will never be rebuilt.

³所以，刚强的民必荣耀你；强暴之国的城必敬畏你。Therefore, a strong people will honor You. The cities of ruthless nations will revere You.
