The time has come; the day has struck! The customer should not rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for divine wrath comes against their whole crowd.

“They have blown the trumpet and everyone is ready, but no one goes to battle, because my anger is against their whole crowd.

16

Their survivors will escape to the mountains and become like doves of the valleys; all of them will moan– each one for his iniquity.
