14 “They have blown the trumpet and made everything ready, but none goes to battle, (A)for my wrath is upon all their multitude. 15 (B)The sword is without; pestilence and famine are within. (C)He who is in the field dies by the sword, (D)and him who is in the city famine and pestilence devour. 16 (E)And if any survivors escape, they will be on the mountains, like (F)doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, each one over his iniquity. 17 (G)All hands are feeble, and all knees turn to water. 18 (H)They put on sackcloth, and (I)horror covers them. Shame is on all faces, and (J)baldness on all their heads. 19 They cast their silver into the streets, and their gold is like an unclean thing. (K)Their silver and gold are not able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord. They cannot satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs with it. (L)For it was (M)the stumbling block of their iniquity.

14 They shall blow on the trumpet and prepare everything,[a] but there is no one going to the battle, for my anger is on all of their multitude. 15 The sword is outside,[b] and the plague and the famine are inside;[c] the one who is in the field will die by the sword, and the one who is in the city, famine and plague will devour him. 16 And if their survivors will escape, they will be on the mountains, like the doves of the valley, all of them groaning, each because of his guilt. 17 All of the hands will hang limp, and all of the knees will be wet with urine.[d] 18 And they will wear sackcloth, and horror will cover them, and on all of the faces will be shame, and baldness on all of their heads. 19 Their silver they will discard on the streets, and filth will be their gold; their silver and their gold will not be able to rescue them on the day of the wrath of Yahweh. They will not satisfy their hunger[e] and their stomachs they will not fill, for their guilt will be their[f] stumbling block.
