11 Violence has grown into a rod of wickedness.(A)
None of them will remain:
none of their multitude,
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(B)
and the seller not mourn,
for wrath is on all her masses.(C)
13 The seller will certainly not return
to what was sold
as long as he and the buyer remain alive.[b]
For the vision concerning all its people
will not be revoked,
and none of them will preserve
his life because of his iniquity.

11 Violence(A) has arisen,[a]
    a rod to punish the wicked.
None of the people will be left,
    none of that crowd—
none of their wealth,
    nothing of value.(B)
12 The time has come!
    The day has arrived!
Let not the buyer(C) rejoice
    nor the seller grieve,
    for my wrath is on the whole crowd.(D)
13 The seller will not recover
    the property that was sold—
    as long as both buyer and seller live.
For the vision concerning the whole crowd
    will not be reversed.
Because of their sins, not one of them
    will preserve their life.(E)
