Desolation, Famine, and Worthless Wealth

14

They have blown the trumpet and made everything ready, but no one goes to war, for My wrath is upon the whole multitude.

15

The sword is outside; plague and famine are within. Those in the country will die by the sword, and those in the city will be devoured by famine and plague.

16

The survivors will escape and live in the mountains, moaning like doves of the valley, each for his own iniquity.

17

Every hand will go limp, and every knee will turn to water.

18

They will put on sackcloth, and terror will overwhelm them. Shame will cover all their faces, and all their heads will be shaved.

19

They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will seem unclean. Their silver and gold cannot save them in the day of the wrath of the LORD. They cannot satisfy their appetites or fill their stomachs with wealth, for it became the stumbling block that brought their iniquity.

20

His beautiful ornaments they transformed into pride and used them to fashion their vile images and detestable idols. Therefore I will make these into something unclean for them.

21

And I will hand these things over as plunder to foreigners and loot to the wicked of the earth, who will defile them.

22

I will turn My face away from them, and they will defile My treasured place. Violent men will enter it, and they will defile it.
