11 Violence has now become the means
    to punish wickedness.
None of the people will be left,
    nor their wealth nor anything of value.
12 The time has come; the day is near.
    Let not the buyer rejoice nor the seller mourn,

13 The seller will not be able to recover what he has sold as long as he lives. Neither party will be willing to cancel out the transaction.

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)
12 The time has come!
    The day has arrived!
Let not the buyer(C) rejoice
    nor the seller grieve,
    for my wrath is on the whole crowd.(D)
13 The seller will not recover
    the property that was sold—
    as long as both buyer and seller live.
For the vision concerning the whole crowd
    will not be reversed.
Because of their sins, not one of them
    will preserve their life.(E)
