11. I will punish the world for its evil, the wicked for their sins. I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty and will humble the pride of the ruthless.
12. I will make people scarcer than pure gold, more rare than the gold of Ophir.
13. Therefore I will make the heavens tremble; and the earth will shake from its place at the wrath of the Lord Almighty, in the day of his burning anger.
14. Like a hunted gazelle, like sheep without a shepherd, they will all return to their own people, they will flee to their native land.
15. Whoever is captured will be thrust through; all who are caught will fall by the sword.
16. Their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses will be looted and their wives violated.
17. See, I will stir up against them the Medes, who do not care for silver and have no delight in gold.
