14 “‘They have blown the trumpet,(A)
    they have made all things ready,
but no one will go into battle,
    for my wrath(B) is on the whole crowd.
15 Outside is the sword;
    inside are plague and famine.
Those in the country
    will die by the sword;
those in the city
    will be devoured by famine and plague.(C)
16 The fugitives(D) who escape
    will flee to the mountains.
Like doves(E) of the valleys,
    they will all moan,
    each for their own sins.(F)
17 Every hand will go limp;(G)
    every leg will be wet with urine.(H)
18 They will put on sackcloth(I)

Every face will be covered with shame,
    and every head will be shaved.(K)

19 “‘They will throw their silver into the streets,(L)
    and their gold will be treated as a thing unclean.
Their silver and gold

It will not satisfy(N) their hunger
    or fill their stomachs,
    for it has caused them to stumble(O) into sin.(P)
