For thus saith Yahweh, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament nor bemoan them: for I have taken away my peace from this people, saith Yahweh, even lovingkindness and mercies.
When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour.
The spoilers are come upon all high places through the wilderness: for the sword of Yahweh shall devour from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh shall have peace.
And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith Yahweh: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them.
Therefore will I cast you out of this land into a land that ye know not, neither ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve other elohim day and night; where I will not shew you favour.
For before these days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all men every one against his neighbour.
Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our Elohim is not among us?
And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
