He expected justice but saw bloodshed; He expected righteousness but heard cries of distress. 8 Woe to those who add house to house and join field to field until there is no room, and you live alone in the midst of the land. 9 The Lord of Hosts said in my hearing: Truly, many houses will become desolate—large and beautiful ones, without occupants. 10 For ten acres of vineyard will yield only a single bath of wine, and a homer of seed will produce merely an ephah of grain. 11 Woe to those who rise early in the morning to chase after strong drink, and who continue into the evening, inflamed by wine. 12 They have harps and lyres, tambourines and flutes, and wine at their banquets, but they pay no attention to the deeds of the Lord or consider the work of His hands. 13 Therefore, my people have gone into exile because of lack of knowledge; their nobles are dying of hunger, and their multitudes are parched with thirst. 14 Therefore Sheol has enlarged its appetite and opened its mouth wide without limit. Into it will descend its splendor, its multitude, its uproar, and those who revel in it. 15 So humanity will be humbled, and people will be brought low; even the eyes of the arrogant will be humbled. 16 But the LORD of Hosts will be exalted through justice, and the Holy God will show Himself holy through righteousness. 17 Then lambs will graze as in their own pasture, and strangers will eat in the ruins of the rich. 18 Woe to those who drag iniquity with cords of falsehood and sin as if with cart ropes! 19 To those who say, 'Let God hurry and work quickly so we may see it!

For they have rejected the instruction of the LORD of Hosts and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel. 25 Therefore the LORD’s anger burns against His people. He has stretched out His hand against them and struck them down. The mountains quaked, and their corpses lay like refuse in the streets. Yet for all this, His anger has not turned away; His hand is still stretched out. 26 He lifts a banner for the nations far away and whistles for them from the ends of the earth. Look! They come swiftly and speedily. 27 None among them grows tired or stumbles; no one slumbers or sleeps. No belt is loosened at their waist; no sandal strap is broken. 28 Their arrows are sharp, and all their bows are drawn. The hooves of their horses are like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind. 29 Their roar is like that of a lion; they roar like young lions. They growl and seize their prey and carry it off, with no one to rescue it. 30 On that day, they will roar over it like the roaring of the sea. And if one looks at the land, there is only darkness and distress; even the light is darkened by the clouds.
