14 They have blown the trumpet
    even to make all ready,
but none goes to the battle;
    for My wrath is against all the multitude.
15 The sword is outside,
    and the pestilence and the famine within.
He who is in the field
    shall die by the sword;
and he who is in the city,
    famine and pestilence shall devour him.
16 Even when their survivors escape,
    they shall be on the mountains
like doves of the valleys,
    all of them mourning,
    every one over his iniquity.
17 All hands shall be feeble,
    and all knees shall be weak as water.
18 They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth,
    and horror shall cover them;
and shame shall be upon all faces,
    and baldness upon all their heads.

19 They shall cast their silver in the streets,
    and their gold shall become abhorrent;
their silver and their gold
    shall not be able to deliver them
    in the day of the wrath of the Lord;
they shall not satisfy their souls,
    or fill their stomachs,
    for their iniquity has become a stumbling block.
