13. Sellers will not return to the land they have sold as long as they live, because the vision against all that crowd will not be changed. Because of their sins, they will not save their lives.
14. They have blown the trumpet, and everything is ready. But no one is going to the battle, because my anger is against all that crowd.
15. “The sword is outside, and disease and hunger are inside. Whoever is in the field will die by the sword. Hunger and disease will destroy those in the city.
16. Those who are left alive and who escape will be on the mountains, moaning like doves of the valleys about their own sin.
17. All hands will hang weakly with fear, and all knees will become weak as water.
18. They will put on rough cloth to show how sad they are. They will tremble all over with fear. Their faces will show their shame, and all their heads will be shaved.
19. The people will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will be like trash. Their silver and gold will not save them from the Lord’s anger. It will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs, because it caused them to fall into sin.
20. They were proud of their beautiful jewelry and used it to make their idols and their evil statues, which I hate. So I will turn their wealth into trash.
