3. Now the end is coming for you. I will send my anger against you. I will judge you for the way you have lived, and I will punish you for all the detestable things that you have done.
4. I will not have compassion for you or feel sorry for you. I will pay you back for the way you have lived and for the detestable things you have done. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
5. “This is what the Almighty Lord says: One disaster after another is coming.
6. The end is coming. The end is coming. It is stirring itself up against you. It is coming!
7. Destruction is coming to you, inhabitants of the land. The time is coming. The day is near. There will be confusion. There will be no joy in the mountains.
8. Soon I will pour out my fury on you and unleash my anger on you. I will judge you for the way you have lived, and I will punish you for all the detestable things that you have done.
9. I will not have compassion or feel sorry. I will pay you back for the way you have lived and for the detestable things that you are still doing. Then you will know that I am the Lord and that I am the one attacking ⌊you⌋.
10. “The day is near! It is coming! Destruction is coming! Wrongdoing has blossomed. Arrogance has flourished.
11. Violence has grown into a weapon for punishing wickedness. None of the people will be left. None of that crowd, none of their wealth, and nothing of value will be left.
12. The time is coming. The day is near. Buyers will not rejoice, and sellers will not mourn, because ⌊my⌋ fury will be against the whole crowd.
13. Sellers will not live long enough to buy back what they have sold. The visions against that crowd will not change. Because of their sins, none of the people will live.
14. They have blown a ram’s horn, and everything is ready. But no one will go into battle, because my fury is against their whole crowd.
15. “Outside are swords, and inside are plagues and famines. Whoever is in a field will die in battle. Whoever is in the city will be devoured by famines and plagues.
16. Those who survive will escape to the mountains. They will moan like doves in the valleys. They will moan because of their sins.
