Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be mine own possession from among all peoples: for all the earth is mine:
Rise up, ye women that are at ease, (and) hear my voice; ye careless daughters, give ear unto my speech.
For days beyond a year shall ye be troubled, ye careless women; for the vintage shall fail, the ingathering shall not come.
Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones; strip you, and make you bare, and gird (sackcloth) upon your loins.
And they shall eat up thy harvest, and thy bread, (which) thy sons and thy daughters should eat; they shall eat up thy flocks and thy herds; they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig-trees; they shall beat down thy fortified cities, wherein thou trustest, with the sword.
Behold, the princes of Israel, every one according to his power, have been in thee to shed blood.
You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will visit upon you all your iniquities.
And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with lamps; and I will punish the men that are settled on their lees, that say in their heart, Jehovah will not do good, neither will he do evil.
But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.
