25 When anguish comes, they will seek (A)peace, but there will be none. 26 (B)Disaster will come upon disaster and (C)rumor will be added to rumor; then they will seek a (D)vision from a prophet, but the (E)Law will be lost from the priest, and (F)counsel from the elders. 27 The king will mourn, the prince will be (G)clothed in horror, and the hands of the people of the land will [a]tremble. I will deal with them because of their conduct, and by their judgments I will judge them. And they will know that I am the Lord.’”
