that will beat them for their wickedness.
None of these pride and wicked people will survive.
All their wealth and prestige will be swept away.

the day is here!
Buyers should not rejoice over bargains,
nor sellers grieve over losses,
for all of them will fall
under my terrible anger.

they will never return to their business.
For what God has said applies to everyone—
it will not be changed!
Not one person whose life is twisted by sin
will ever recover.

Then they will know that I am the LORD."
