He notes that the Lord makes the earth empty, waste, and turns it upside down, scattering abroad its inhabitants. The judgments fall across every social rank: people and priest, servant and master, maid and mistress, buyer and seller, lender and borrower, taker of usury and giver. Everyone comes under that seven-year period of events. Verse 3 declares the land shall be utterly emptied and spoiled, for the Lord has spoken. Verse 4 adds the earth mourns and fades away under these judgments.
