12 I’ll make people scarcer[a] than pure gold,
    and mankind rarer[b] than gold from Ophir.
13 Therefore I’ll make the heavens tremble.
    The earth will shake from its place
at the wrath of the Lord of the Heavenly Armies,
    at the time[c] of his burning anger.[d]
14 They[e] will be like a hunted gazelle,
    or like sheep with no one to gather them,[f]
each will turn to his own people,
    and each will flee to his own land.
