9 My eye will not have mercy, and I will have no pity: I will send on you the punishment of your ways, and your disgusting works will be among you; and you will see that I am the Lord who gives punishment.
10 See, the day; see, it is coming: the crowning time has gone out; the twisted way is flowering, pride has put out buds.
11 Violent behaviour has been lifted up into a rod of evil; it will not be slow in coming, it will not keep back.
12 The time has come, the day is near: let not him who gives a price for goods be glad, or him who gets the price have sorrow:
13 For the trader will not go back to the things for which he had his price, even while he is still living:
14 And he who has given a price for goods will not get them, for my wrath is on all of them.
15 Outside is the sword, and inside disease and need of food: he who is in the open country will be put to the sword; he who is in the town will come to his end through need of food and disease.
