¹⁸ Because of their pride the cities shall be in confusion, the houses shall be destroyed, and people shall be afraid. ¹⁹ People shall have no pity for their neighbors but shall make an assault upon^[a] their houses with the sword and plunder their goods because of hunger for bread and because of great tribulation.^(A)
