13 You live beside a great river,
    and you are rich in treasures.
But your time has come;
    your cruelty has caught up with you.[a]
14 The Lord of heavenly forces has sworn by his own name:
    I’m going to fill your cities[b]
        with soldiers like a swarm of locusts;
    they will celebrate their victory over you.

15 God made the earth by his might,
    shaped the world by his wisdom,
        and crafted the skies by his knowledge.
