‘They have ^(q)blown the trumpet and made everything ready, but no one is going to the battle, for My wrath is against all ^[i]their multitude.

The ^(r)sword is outside and the plague and the famine are within. He who is in the field will die by the sword; famine and the plague will also consume those in the city.

Even when their survivors ^(s)escape, they will be on the mountains like ^(t)doves of the valleys, all of them ^[j](u)mourning, each over his own iniquity.

All ^(v)hands will hang limp and all knees will ^[k]become like water.

They will ^(w)gird themselves with sackcloth and ^(x)shuddering will overwhelm them; and shame will be on all faces and ^(y)baldness on all their heads.

They will ^(z)fling their silver into the streets and their gold will become an abhorrent thing; their ^(aa)silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord . They cannot satisfy their ^[l]appetite nor can they fill their stomachs, for their iniquity has become an occasion of stumbling.

They transformed the beauty of His ornaments into pride, and ^(ab)they made the images of their abominations and their detestable things with it; therefore I will make it an abhorrent thing to them.

I will give it into the hands of the ^(ac)foreigners as plunder and to the wicked of the earth as spoil, and they will profane it.

I will also turn My ^(ad)face from them, and they will profane My secret place; then robbers will enter and profane it.

‘^(ae)Make the chain, for the land is full of ^[m](af)bloody crimes and the city is ^(ag)full of violence.
