you complacent daughters, listen to my speech.(A)

for the vintage will fail;
the fruit harvest will not come.(B)

shudder, you complacent ones;
strip and make yourselves bare,
and put sackcloth on your loins.(C)

for the fruitful vine,(D)
13 for the soil of my people
growing up in thorns and briers,
yes, for all the joyous houses
in the jubilant city.(E)

the populous city deserted;
the hill and the watchtower
will become dens forever,
the joy of wild asses,
a pasture for flocks;(F)
