24 Therefore, I will bring the most evil of the (A)nations, and they will possess their houses. I will also make the (B)pride of the strong ones cease, and their (C)holy places will be profaned. 25 Anguish has come, and they will seek (D)peace, but there will be none. 26 (E)Disaster will come upon disaster, and (F)report will be added to report; then they will seek a (G)vision from a prophet, but the (H)law will be lost from the priest and (I)counsel from the elders. 27 The king will mourn, the prince will be (J)clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land will be dismayed. According to their way I will deal with them, and by their judgments I will judge them. And they will know that I am Yahweh.’”

24 I will bring the most wicked of nations
    to take possession of their houses.
I will put an end to the pride of the mighty,
    and their sanctuaries(A) will be desecrated.(B)
25 When terror comes,
    they will seek peace in vain.(C)
26 Calamity upon calamity(D) will come,
    and rumor upon rumor.
They will go searching for a vision from the prophet,(E)
    priestly instruction in the law will cease,
    the counsel of the elders will come to an end.(F)
27 The king will mourn,
    the prince will be clothed with despair,(G)
    and the hands of the people of the land will tremble.
I will deal with them according to their conduct,(H)
    and by their own standards I will judge them.

“‘Then they will know that I am the Lord.(I)’”
