32
The earth shall be left desolate, and its fields shall be plowed up, and its roads and all its paths shall bring forth thorns, because no sheep will go along them.
33
Virgins shall mourn because they have no bridegrooms; women shall mourn because they have no husbands; their daughters shall mourn, because they have no help.
34
Their bridegrooms shall be killed in war, and their husbands shall perish of famine.
35
Listen now to these things, and understand them, you who are servants of the Lord.
36
This is the word of the Lord; receive it and do not disbelieve what the Lord says.
