13 The seller will not recover
    the property that was sold—

    will not be reversed.
Because of their sins, not one of them
    will preserve their life.(A)

14 “‘They have blown the trumpet,(B)
    they have made all things ready,
but no one will go into battle,
    for my wrath(C) is on the whole crowd.
15 Outside is the sword;
    inside are plague and famine.
Those in the country
    will die by the sword;
those in the city
    will be devoured by famine and plague.(D)
