12 The time has come; the day has arrived.Let the buyer not rejoice and the seller not mourn,for wrath is on all her masses.
13 The seller will certainly not returnto what was soldas long as he and the buyer remain alive. For the vision concerning all its peoplewill not be revoked,and none of them will preservehis life because of his iniquity.
14 They have blown the trumpet and prepared everything,but no one goes to war,for My wrath is on all her masses.
15 The sword is on the outside; plague and famine are on the inside.Whoever is in the field will die by the sword,and famine and plague will devourwhoever is in the city.
16 The survivors among them will escape and live on the mountainslike doves of the valley,all of them moaning,each over his own iniquity.
17 All their hands will become weak, and all their knees will turn to water.
18 They will put on sackcloth,and horror will overwhelm them.Shame will cover all their faces,and all their heads will be bald.
