11 [a]Cruelty is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them shall remain, nor of their riches, nor of any of theirs, neither shall there be [b]lamentation for them.

12 The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer [c]rejoice, nor let him that selleth [d]mourn: for the wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.

13 For he that selleth, shall not [e]return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the [f]vision was unto all the multitude thereof, and they returned not, [g]neither doth any encourage himself in the punishment of his life.
