9 (A)Rise up, you women (B)who are at ease, hear my voice;
you complacent daughters, give ear to my speech.
10 In little more than a year
you will shudder, you complacent women;
for the grape harvest fails,
the fruit harvest will not come.
11 Tremble, you women (C)who are at ease,
shudder, you complacent ones;
(D)strip, and make yourselves bare,
(E)and tie sackcloth around your waist.
12 (F)Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields,
for the fruitful vine,
13 (G)for the soil of my people
growing up in thorns and briers,
(H)yes, for all the joyous houses
in the exultant city.
14 For the palace is forsaken,
the populous city deserted;
the hill and the watchtower
will become dens forever,
(I)a joy of wild donkeys,
a pasture of flocks;

“Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”
