Against the Carefree Women

9 Women who are at ease, rise up; hear my voice!

Carefree daughters, listen to my word!

10 ⌊In a year⌋i you will tremble, carefree ones,

for the vintage will come to an end;

the harvest will not come.

11 Tremble, you who are at ease;

tremble, carefree ones;

strip, and strip yourself,

and gird yourself on your loins,j

12 mourning over breasts,

over fields of delight,

over the fruitful vine,

13 over the soil of my people.

It goes up in thornsk and briers,l

indeed over all of the houses of joy in the jubilant city.

14 For the palace will be forsaken,

the ⌊crowded city⌋m deserted;

the hill and the watchtower will becomen a cave forever,

the joy of wild asses, a pasture ⌊for⌋o flocks.

15 Until a spirit is poured out on us from on high,

and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field,

and the fruitful field is reckoned as the forest.
