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.
19 They will throw their silver into the streets,and their gold will seem like something filthy. Their silver and gold will be unable to save themin the day of the Lord’s wrath. They will not satisfy their appetitesor fill their stomachs,for these were the stumbling blocks that brought about their iniquity.
20 He appointed His beautiful ornaments for majesty,but they made their abhorrent images from them,their detestable things. Therefore, I have made theseinto something filthy for them.
