2And as the people, so shall the priest be: & as the servant, so his master: as the handmaid, so her mistress: as the buyer, so he that selleth: as the lender, so he that borroweth: as he that asketh his due, so he that oweth.And as the people, so shal the priest be: & as the seruant, so his master: as the handmayde, so her mistresse: as the byer, so he that selleth: as the lender, so he that boroweth: as he that asketh his dewe, so he that oweth.✦Et erit sicut populus, sic sacerdos ; et sicut servus, sic dominus ejus ; sicut ancilla, sic domina ejus ; sicut emens, sic ille qui vendit ; sicut fœnerator, sic is qui mutuum accipit ; sicut qui repetit, sic qui debet.
3With dissipation shall the earth be dissipated, and with spoil it shall be spoiled: for our Lord hath spoken this word.With dissipation shal the earth be dissipated, and with spoile it shal be spoiled: for our Lord hath spoken this worde.✦Dissipatione dissipabitur terra, et direptione prædabitur ; Dominus enim locutus est verbum hoc.

5And the earth is infecta: defiled, polluted, stained, not diseased by contagion by the inhabitants thereof: because they have transgressed the laws, changed right, dissipated the everlasting covenant.And the earth is infected by the inhabitants therof: because they haue transgressed the lawes, changed right, dissipated the euerlasting couenant.✦Et terra infecta est ab habitatoribus suis, quia transgressi sunt leges, mutaverunt jus, dissipaverunt fœdus sempiternum.
6For this cause shall maledictio: a curse devour the earth, & the inhabitants thereof shall sin: and therefore the dwellers therein shall be mad, & few men shall be left.For this cause shal malediction deuoure the earth, & the inhabitants therof shal sinne: and therfore the dwellers therein shal be madde, & few men shal be leaft.✦Propter hoc maledictio vorabit terram, et peccabunt habitatores ejus ; ideoque insanient cultores ejus, et relinquentur homines pauci.

11There shall be crying for the wine in the streets: all mirth is left: the joy of the earth is carried away.There shal be crying for the wine in the streetes: al mirth is left: the ioy of the earth is caried away.✦Clamor erit super vino in plateis, deserta est omnia lætitia, translatum est gaudium terræ.
12Desolation is left in the city, and calamity shall oppress the gates.Desolation is left in the citie, and calamitie shal oppresse the gates.Relicta est in urbe solitudo, et calamitas opprimet portas.
13Because these things shall be in the midst of the earth, in the midst of peoples, in like manner as if a few olives, which are remaining, should be shaken out of the olive tree; and grapes, when the vintage is ended.Because these things shal be in the middes of the earth, in the middes of peoples, in like maner as if a few oliues, which are remayning, should be shaken out of the oliue tree; and grapes, when the vintage is ended.✦Quia hæc erunt in medio terræ in medio populorum, quomodo si paucæ olivæ quæ remanserunt excutiantur ex olea et racemi, cum fuerit finita vindemia.
