Lo! it cometh, and it is done, saith the Lord God. This is the day of which I spake.

And dwellers shall go out of the cities of Israel, and they shall set afire, and shall burn armours, shield and spear, bow and arrows, and staves of hand, and shafts without iron; and they shall burn those in fire by seven years. (And the inhabitants shall go out of the cities of Israel, and they shall set on fire, and shall burn the arms, or the weapons, yea, shield and spear, bow and arrows, and hand-staffs, and shafts without iron; and they shall have enough weapons to burn for seven years.)

(And so they shall not need to carry wood out of the countryside, nor shall they need to cut it down from the forests, for they shall burn all the arms, or all the weapons, in the fire; and they shall take preys of them, to whom they were preys, and they shall rob, or waste, their wasters, saith the Lord God.)

And they will plunder(D) those who plundered them and loot those who looted them, declares the Sovereign Lord.(E)
