12 The time has come,the day has drawn near.Do not let the buyer rejoice,or the seller mourn,for wrath is against all their multitude.
13 For the seller shall not returnto that which is sold,although they both live;for the vision concerning the whole multitudeshall not return;nor shall any strengthen his lifeby his iniquity.
14 They have blown the trumpeteven to make all ready,but none goes to the battle;for My wrath is against all the multitude.
15 The sword is outside,and the pestilence and the famine within.He who is in the fieldshall die by the sword;and he who is in the city,famine and pestilence shall devour him.
16 Even when their survivors escape,they shall be on the mountainslike doves of the valleys,all of them mourning,every one over his iniquity.
17 All hands shall be feeble,and all knees shall be weak as water.
18 They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth,and horror shall cover them;and shame shall be upon all faces,and baldness upon all their heads.
