Therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left.	1 Isa 2:19 Isa 13:13 Isa 24:19 Isa 24:20 Isa 30:32 Isa 33:9 2 Lev 25:36 Lev 25:37 Deu 23:19 Deu 23:20 4 Isa 33:9 Isa 2:12 Isa 24:21 5 Gen 3:17 Num 35:33 Isa 9:17 Isa 10:6 Isa 33:8 6 Jos 23:15 Isa 34:5 Isa 43:28 Zec 5:3 Zec 5:4 Isa 1:31 Isa 5:24 Isa 9:19
