13. Then you should say to them: The Lord proclaims: I’m going to fill everyone who lives in this country with wine that makes them drunk, including the kings on David’s throne, the priests, the prophets, and all those living in Jerusalem.
14. And I will shatter every one of them, even parents and children, declares the Lord. I won’t take pity; I won’t have compassion; I will show no mercy when I destroy them.
15. Listen closely, don’t be arrogant,for the Lord has spoken.
16. Honor the Lord your God,before it’s too late,before you stumbleon the mountain pathsin the evening shadows.Then you will hope for light,only to find darkness and gloom.
17. If you are too proud to listen,I will go off aloneand cry my eyes out.I will weep uncontrollablybecause the Lord’s flockwill be dragged off into exile.
