15
The sword
is without, and the pestilence and the famine within; he that
is in the field shall die with the sword, and he that
is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
16
And those that escape of them shall be upon the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, each one for his iniquity.
17
All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak
as water.
18
They shall also gird
themselves with sackcloth, and trembling shall cover them; and shame
shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads.
19
They shall cast their silver in the streets and their gold far from
them their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD; they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels because it shall be the stumblingblock of their iniquity.
20
Because they turned the glory of his ornament into pride and made in her the images of their abominations of their statues; therefore I have set it far from them.
21
And I gave it into the hands of the strangers for a prey and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it.
22
I will also turn my face from them, and they shall pollute my secret
place, for the destroyers shall enter into it and defile it.
23
Make
a chain, for the land is full of bloody judgments, and the city is full of violence.
24
Therefore I will bring the worst of all the Gentiles, and they shall possess their houses; I will also cause the arrogance of the strong to cease; and their sanctuaries shall be defiled.
25
A cutting off comes, and they shall seek peace, and
there shall be none.
