Wycliffe(i)
3 Bi distriyng the lond schal be distried, and schal be maad nakid by rauyschyng; for whi the Lord spak this word.
4 The erthe morenyde, and fleet awei, and is maad sijk; the world fleet awei, the hiynesse of the puple of erthe is maad sijk,
5 and the erthe is slayn of hise dwelleris. For thei passiden lawis, chaungiden riyt, distrieden euerlastynge boond of pees.
6 For this thing cursyng schal deuoure the erthe, and the dwelleris therof schulen do synne; and therfor the louyeris therof schulen be woode, and fewe men schulen be left.
7 Vyndage morenyde, the vyne is sijk; alle men that weren glad in herte weiliden.
8 The ioie of tympans ceesside, the sowne of glad men restide; the swetnesse of harpe with song was stille.
9 Thei schulen not drynke wyn; a bittere drynk schal be to hem that schulen drynke it.
10 The citee of vanyte is al to-brokun; ech hous is closid, for no man entrith.
11 Cry schal be on wyn in streetis, al gladnesse is forsakun, the ioie of erthe is `takun awei.
12 Desolacioun is left in the citee, and wretchidnesse schal oppresse the yatis.
