9 Listen, you women who lie around in ease.
Listen to me, you who are so smug.
10 In a short time—just a little more than a year—
you careless ones will suddenly begin to care.
For your fruit crops will fail,
and the harvest will never take place.
11 Tremble, you women of ease;
throw off your complacency.
Strip off your pretty clothes,
and put on burlap to show your grief.

you who feel secure will tremble;
the grape harvest will fail,(E)
and the harvest of fruit will not come.
11 Tremble,(F) you complacent women;
shudder, you daughters who feel secure!(G)
Strip off your fine clothes(H)
and wrap yourselves in rags.(I)
