4 Listen to Yahweh’s message you Israelis,

because Yahweh has brought a lawsuit against the inhabitants of the land,

because there’s no faithfulness or loyal commitment—no knowledge of God in the land.

2 There’s cursing, lying, murder, stealing and adultery.

They’ve broken all bounds, and bloodshed follows bloodshed.

3 Therefore the land mourns,

and everyone who lives in it is wasting away,

along with the animals in the countryside and the birds in the sky.

Even the fish in the sea will disappear.
