The verse 1 is found in chapter 24 of Isaiah. Judgment now reaches the whole earth. Desolation is not limited to one nation because human transgression has defiled the earth and broken a covenant. The language universalizes the moral problem: human sin has consequences affecting the entire created and social order.

Siehe, der HERR macht das Land leer und wüst und wirft um, was darin ist, und zerstreut seine Einwohner.
He aquí que Jehová vacía la tierra, y la desnuda, y trastorna su haz, y hace esparcir sus moradores.
Miren, Jehová vacía la tierra y la devasta, trastorna su superficie y dispersa a sus habitantes.
Voici, l'Eternel dévaste le pays et le rend désert, Il en bouleverse la face et en disperse les habitants.
ECCO, il Signore vuota il paese, e lo deserta; e ne guasta la faccia, e ne disperge gli abitatori.
EIS que o SENHOR esvazia a terra, e a desola, e transtorna a sua superfície, e dispersa os seus moradores.
看哪,耶和華使地空虛,變為荒蕪, 地面扭曲,居民四散。
