11 Violence has risen up
    into a rod of wickedness;
none of them shall remain,
    none of their people,
none of their wealth,
    nor anything eminent among them.
12 The time has come,
    the day has drawn near.
Do not let the buyer rejoice,
    or the seller mourn,
    for wrath is against all their multitude.
13 For the seller shall not return
    to that which is sold,
    although they both live;
for the vision concerning the whole multitude
    shall not return;
nor shall any strengthen his life
    by 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)
