14 ‘They have (A)blown the trumpet and made everything ready, but no one is going to the battle, for My wrath is against all [a]their multitude. 15 The (B)sword is outside, and the plague and the famine are inside. He who is in the field will die by the sword; famine and the plague will also devour those in the city. 16 Even when their survivors (C)escape, they will be on the mountains like (D)doves of the valleys, all of them (E)moaning, each over his own iniquity. 17 All (F)hands will hang limp, and all knees will [b]become like water. 18 They will (G)gird themselves with sackcloth, and (H)horror will cover them; and shame will be on all faces and (I)baldness on all their heads. 19 They will (J)throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will become an impure thing; their (K)silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the fury of Yahweh. They cannot satisfy their soul, nor can they fill their stomachs, for their iniquity has become an occasion of stumbling.

14 ‘They have blown the trumpet and made everyone ready,
But no one goes to battle;
For My wrath is on all their multitude.
15 (A)The sword is outside,
And the pestilence and famine within.
Whoever is in the field
Will die by the sword;
And whoever is in the city,
Famine and pestilence will devour him.

16 ‘Those who (B)survive will escape and be on the mountains
Like doves of the valleys,
All of them mourning,
Each for his iniquity.
17 Every (C)hand will be feeble,
And every knee will be as weak as water.
18 They will also (D)be girded with sackcloth;
Horror will cover them;
Shame will be on every face,
Baldness on all their heads.

19 ‘They will throw their silver into the streets,
And their gold will be like refuse;
Their (E)silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them
In the day of the wrath of the Lord;
They will not satisfy their souls,
Nor fill their stomachs,
Because it became their stumbling block of iniquity.
