15. Fire is lit and not extinguished until it consumes the foundations of the earth.
16. As an arrow that is shot by a powerful archer doesn’t turn back, so the disasters that will be unleashed upon the earth won’t turn back.
17. I am doomed! I am doomed! Who will save me when those days arrive?
18. The beginning of groaning and an abundance of sighing! The beginning of famine, and many will perish; the beginning of wars, and powerful ones will be afraid; the beginning of disasters, and all will be terrified.
19. What will they do when the disasters come?
20. Look! A plague of famine has been sent out, and the distress it inflicts is like a whip, a punishment for discipline.
21. But in the midst of all these, they won’t turn from their sins and won’t keep the plagues in mind.
