15-Thoughts on Isaiah 24:5

Here is the verse:
The earth lies defiled under its inhabitants; for they have
transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, broken the
everlasting covenant.
And here is the verse in its context:
Behold, the Lord will empty the earth and make it desolate, and
he will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants. And it shall
be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the slave, so
with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with
the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the
borrower; as with the creditor, so with the debtor. The earth
shall be utterly empty and utterly plundered; for the Lord has
spoken this word. The earth mourns and withers; the world
languishes and withers; the highest people of the earth
languish. The earth lies defiled under its inhabitants; for they
have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, broken the
everlasting covenant. Therefore a curse devours the earth, and
its inhabitants suffer for their guilt; therefore the inhabitants of
the earth are scorched, and few men are left (Isa. 24:1-6).
