6. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell (continued)
JOHN CALVIN
therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
6. Itaque maledictio cosumpsit terram, et desolati sunt incolæ ejus; ideo combusti sunt, inquam, incolæ terræ; et pauci residui sunt facti homines.
7. The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merry hearted do sigh.
7. Periit vinum, elanguit vitis, gemuerunt omnes qui læto erant corde. 8. The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.
8. Cessavit gaudium tympanorum, desiit strepitus exultantium, quievit lætitia citharæ.
9. They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.
9. Cum cantico non bibent vinum; amara erit sicera bibentibus eam. 10. The city of confusion is broken down; every house is shut up, that no man may come in.
10. Contrita est civitas vanitatis; clausa est omnis domus, ne quis ingrediatur.
11 There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.
11. Clamor est super vino in plateis; obscuratum est omne gaudium; migravit lætitia terræ.
12. In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction. 12. Residua est in urbe vastitas, et vastatione percussa est porta. 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.
13. Quia sic erit in medio terræ, in medio populorum, quasi decussio olivæ, et quasi racemi, cum peracta est vindemia.
14. They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the Lord, they shall cry aloud from the sea.
14. Hi levabunt vocem suam; jubilabunt in altitudine Iehovæ, vociferabuntur a mari.
15. Wherefore glorify ye the Lord in the fires, even the name of the Lord God of Israel in the isles of the sea.
15. Propterea in vallibus glorificate Iehovam, in insulis maris nomen Iehovæ Dei Israel.
16. From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.
16. Ab extremo terræ laudes audivimus, gloriam (vel, gratulationem) justo, et dixi, Macies mihi, macies mihi, væ mihi. Prævaricatores prævaricati sunt; prævaricatione, inquam, prævaricatores prævaricati sunt.
