5. When this time comes,the Lord All-Powerfulwill be a glorious crownfor his people who survive.
6. He will see that justice rulesand that his people are ableto defend their cities.
7. Priests and prophets stumblebecause they are drunk.Their minds are too confusedto receive God's messagesor give honest decisions.
8. Their tables are covered,completely covered,with their stinking vomit.
9. You drunken leadersare like babies!How can you possibly understandor teach the Lord's message?
10. You don't even listen—all you hear is senseless soundafter senseless sound.
11. So, the Lord will speakto his peoplein strange soundsand foreign languages.
12. He promised youperfect peace and rest,but you refused to listen.
13. Now his message to youwill be senseless soundafter senseless sound.Then you will fall backwards,injured and trapped.
