Rise up, you women who are at ease! Hear my voice!
    You careless daughters, give ear to my speech!
10 For days beyond a year you will be troubled, you careless women;
    for the vintage will fail.
    The harvest won’t come.
11 Tremble, you women who are at ease!
    Be troubled, you careless ones!
    Strip yourselves, make yourselves naked,
    and put sackcloth on your waist.

A Rebuke for Complacent Women

“As for you ladies of leisure—
    Get up and listen to my voice!
You daughters who feel so complacent—
    hear what I have to say!
10 In little more than a year,
    you complacent women will shudder;
for the grape harvest will fail,
    and the fruit harvest will not[a] come.
11 So tremble, you ladies of leisure!
    Shudder, you daughters who feel so complacent!
Strip down and make yourselves naked down to the waist![b]
    Then wrap yourself in[c] sackcloth and beat your breasts.[d]
