11 (A)Violence has grown up into (B)a rod of wickedness. (C)None of them shall remain, nor their abundance, nor their wealth; neither shall there be preeminence among them.[a] 12 (D)The time has come; the day has arrived. Let not (E)the buyer rejoice, nor (F)the seller mourn, (G)for wrath is upon all their multitude.[b] 13 For (H)the seller shall not return to what he has sold, while they live. (I)For the vision concerns all their multitude; it shall not turn back; and because of his iniquity, none can maintain his life.[c]

    for my wrath is on the whole crowd.(D)
13 The seller will not recover
    the property that was sold—

Because of their sins, not one of them
    will preserve their life.(E)
