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.

The verse 6 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.

Darum frißt der Fluch das Land; denn sie verschulden's, die darin wohnen. Darum verdorren die Einwohner des Landes, also daß wenig Leute übrigbleiben.
Por esta causa la maldición consumió la tierra, y sus moradores fueron asolados; por esta causa fueron consumidos los habitantes de la tierra, y se disminuyeron los hombres.
Por eso una maldición devora la tierra, y sus habitantes cargan con su culpa; por eso los habitantes de la tierra son consumidos y quedan muy pocos seres humanos.
C'est pourquoi la malédiction dévore le pays, Et ses habitants portent la peine de leurs crimes; C'est pourquoi les habitants du pays sont consumés, Et il n'en reste qu'un petit nombre.
Perciò, l’esecrazione ha divorato il paese, e gli abitanti di esso sono stati desolati; perciò, sono stati arsi gli abitanti del paese, e pochi uomini ne son rimasti.
Por isso a maldição tem consumido a terra; e os que habitam nela são desolados; por isso são queimados os moradores da terra, e poucos homens restam.
所以,詛咒吞滅大地, 住在其上的都有罪; 地上的居民被火焚燒, 剩下的人稀少。
