Stand up, you complacent women;(A)
listen to me.
Pay attention to what I say,
you overconfident daughters.
10 In a little more than a year

for the vintage will fail
and the harvest will not come.
11 Shudder, you complacent ones;
tremble, you overconfident ones!
Strip yourselves bare(B)
and put sackcloth around your waists.

and punish the men who settle down comfortably,[a](A)
who say to themselves:
The Lord will not do good or evil.
