9. My eye will not pity you; I will not spare you. For your behavior I will hold you accountable, and you will suffer the consequences of your abominable practices. Then you will know that it is I, the Lord, who is striking you.
10. “Look, the day! Look, it is coming! Doom has gone out! The staff has budded, pride has blossomed!
11. Violence has grown into a staff that supports wickedness. Not one of them will be left – not from their crowd, not from their wealth, not from their prominence.
12. The time has come; the day has struck! The customer should not rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for divine wrath comes against their whole crowd.
13. The customer will no longer pay the seller while both parties are alive, for the vision against their whole crowd will not be revoked. Each person, for his iniquity, will fail to preserve his life.
14. “They have blown the trumpet and everyone is ready, but no one goes to battle, because my anger is against their whole crowd.
15. The sword is outside; pestilence and famine are inside the house. Whoever is in the open field will die by the sword, and famine and pestilence will consume everyone in the city.
16. Their survivors will escape to the mountains and become like doves of the valleys; all of them will moan – each one for his iniquity.
17. All of their hands will hang limp; their knees will be wet with urine.
18. They will wear sackcloth, terror will cover them; shame will be on all their faces, and all of their heads will be shaved bald.
