4 How long should the land keep withering away,+ and the very vegetation of all the field dry up?+ Because of the badness of those dwelling in it the beasts and the flying creatures have been swept away.+ For they have said: “He does not see our future.”

10 For it is with adulterers*+ that the land has become full.+ For because of the curse* the land has gone to mourning,+ the pasture grounds of the wilderness have dried up;+ and their course of action proves to be bad, and their mightiness is not right.
