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.

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.
