- Propter hoc maledictio vorabit terram, et peccabunt habitatores ejus ; ideoque insanient cultores ejus, et relinquentur homines pauci.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- διὰ τοῦτο ἀρὰ ἔδεται τὴν γῆν, ὅτι ἡμάρτοσαν οἱ κατοικοῦντες αὐτήν· διὰ τοῦτο πτωχοὶ ἔσονται οἱ ἐνοικοῦντες ἐν τῇ γῇ, καὶ καταλειφθήσονται ἄνθρωποι ὀλίγοι.
- Hebrew (WLC)

Haydock's commentary
Sin. Towards the end of the world iniquity will abound, and men shall rage against each other, Matthew xxiv. (Worthington)
They will also feel the effects of sin.
Mad: abandoned to their passions, (Deuteronomy xxviii. 28.) excepting only the elect. (Menochius)
Few. The Chaldeans permitted only a few of the poorest sort to remain, 2 Paralipomenon xxix. 10.
