Though he may still be alive;
For the vision concerns the whole multitude,
And it shall not turn back;
No one will strengthen himself
Who lives in iniquity.
But no one goes to battle;
For My wrath is on all their multitude.
And the pestilence and famine within.
Whoever is in the field
Will die by the sword;
And whoever is in the city,
Famine and pestilence will devour him.
Like doves of the valleys,
All of them mourning,
Each for his iniquity.
Horror will cover them;
Shame will be on every face,
Baldness on all their heads.
And their gold will be like refuse;
Their asilver and their gold will not be able to deliver them
In the day of the wrath of the Lord;
They will not satisfy their souls,
Nor fill their stomachs,
Because it became their stumbling block of iniquity.
He set it in majesty;
aBut they made from it
The images of their abominations—
Their detestable things;
Therefore I have made it
Like refuse to them.
Into the hands of strangers,
And to the wicked of the earth as spoil;
And they shall defile it.
