4. My eye will not spare you, nor will I have pity; but I will hold your conduct against you, since your abominations remain within you; then shall you know that I am the Lord.
5. Thus says the Lord God: Evil upon evil! See it coming!
6. An end is coming, the end is coming; it is ripe for you! See it coming!
7. The crisis has come for you who dwell in the land! The time has come, near is the day: panic, no rejoicing on the mountains.
8. Soon now I will pour out my fury upon you and spend my anger against you; I will judge you according to your ways and hold against you all your abominations.
9. My eye will not spare, nor will I take pity; I will hold your conduct against you since your abominations remain within you, then you shall know that it is I, the Lord, who strikes.
10. The day is here! Look! it is coming! The crisis has come! Lawlessness is blooming, insolence budding;
11. the violent have risen up to wield a scepter of wickedness. But none of them shall remain; none of their crowd, none of their wealth, for none of them are innocent.
12. The time has come, the day dawns. The buyer must not rejoice, nor the seller mourn, for wrath is coming upon all the throng.
13. Assuredly, the seller shall not regain what was sold, as long as they all live; for the vision is for the whole crowd: it shall not be revoked! Yes, because of their guilt, they shall not hold on to life.
14. They will sound the trumpet and get everything ready, but no one will go out to battle, for my wrath weighs upon all the crowd.
