32
And the earth shall be left desolate, and its fields shall be for briers, 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 helpers.
34
Their bridegrooms shall be killed in war, and their husbands shall perish of famine.
35
Listen now to these things, and understand them, O servants of the Lord.
36
Behold the word of the Lord, receive it; do not disbelieve what the Lord says.
