14
Woe to the world and them that dwell therein!
15
For the sword and their destruction draweth nigh, and one people shall stand up and fight against another, with swords in their hands.
16
For there shall be sedition among men; and, invading one another, they shall not regard their kings nor princes, and the course of their actions shall stand in their power.
17
A man shall desire to go into a city, and shall not be able.
18
For because of their pride the cities shall be troubled, the houses shall be destroyed, and men shall be afraid.
19
A man shall have no pity upon his neighbor, but shall destroy their houses with the sword, and despoil their goods, because of the lack of bread and for great tribulation.
20
"Behold," saith God, "I will call together all the kings of the earth to reverence Me, who are from the rising of the sun, from the south, from the east, and Lebanon, to turn themselves one against another, and repay the things that they have done to them.
21
As they do yet this day unto My chosen, so will I do also and recompense in their bosom." Thus saith the Lord God:
22
"My right hand shall not spare the sinners, and My sword shall not cease over them that shed innocent blood upon the earth.
23
The fire is gone forth from His wrath, and hath consumed the foundations of the earth, and the sinners like the straw that is kindled.
24
Woe to them that sin and keep not My commandments!" saith the Lord.
