View Full Chapter

14“ ‘They have blown the trumpet, they have made all things ready, but no one will go into battle, for my wrath is on the whole crowd.

15Outside is the sword; inside are plague and famine. Those in the country will die by the sword; those in the city will be devoured by famine and plague.

16The fugitives who escape will flee to the mountains. Like doves of the valleys, they will all moan, each for their own sins.

17Every hand will go limp; every leg will be wet with urine.

18They will put on sackcloth and be clothed with terror. Every face will be covered with shame, and every head will be shaved.

19“ ‘They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will be treated as a thing unclean. Their silver and gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD ’s wrath. It will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs, for it has caused them to stumble into sin.

20They took pride in their beautiful jewelry and used it to make their detestable idols. They made it into vile images; therefore I will make it a thing unclean for them.

21I will give their wealth as plunder to foreigners and as loot to the wicked of the earth, who will defile it.

22I will turn my face away from the people, and robbers will desecrate the place I treasure. They will enter it and will defile it.
