26     One disaster after another will hit them;
        one bad report after another will come to them.
    Then they will seek a vision from any prophet,
        but no instruction in the law from the priest
        and no wise counsel from the elders will be found.
27     The king will grieve,
        the prince will wrap himself in despair,
        and the hands of the common people will tremble.
    I will deal with them according to the way they dealt with others;
        I will judge them according to way they judged others.

Then they will know I am the Eternal One.
