29. As in an orchard of olives upon every tree there be left three or four olives,
30. or as when a vineyard is gathered there be some clusters left by them that diligently seek through the vineyard;
31. even so in those days there shall be three or four left by them that search their houses with the sword.
32. And the earth shall be left desolate, and the fields thereof shall be for briers, and her ways and all her paths shall bring forth thorns, because no sheep shall pass therethrough.
33. The virgins shall mourn, having no bridegrooms; the women shall mourn, having no husbands; their daughters shall mourn, having no helpers.
34. In the wars shall their bridegrooms be destroyed, and their husbands shall perish of famine.
35. Hear now these things, and understand them, you⌃ servants of the Lord.
36. Behold, the word of the Lord, receive it: disbelieve not the things whereof the Lord speaks.
