10 Here is the day! Here it comes!
Doom is on its way.(A)
The rod has blossomed;(B)
arrogance has bloomed.(C)
11 Violence has grown into a rod of wickedness.(D)
None of them will remain:
none of that crowd,
none of their wealth,
and none of the eminent[a] among them.

12 The time has come; the day has arrived.
Let the buyer not rejoice(E)
and the seller not mourn,
for wrath is on her whole crowd.(F)

none of their wealth,
    nothing of value.(C)

    The day has arrived!
