11 You use violence to help you to do wicked things. None of all those people will escape. None of their riches or valuable things will remain. 12 The day of punishment has now come!

My anger will bring pain to all of them. 13 Any man who sells his land will never get it back as long as he lives. God has shown what he will do to all those people. He will not change his mind. Each one will lose his life because of their sins.

11 Violence(A) has arisen,[a]
    a rod to punish the wicked.
None of the people will be left,
    none of that crowd—
none of their wealth,
    nothing of value.(B)

    The day has arrived!
Let not the buyer(C) rejoice
    nor the seller grieve,
    for my wrath is on the whole crowd.(D)

Because of their sins, not one of them
    will preserve their life.(E)
