¹¹ And the Lord said to Samuel, See, I will do a thing in Israel at which the ears of everyone hearing of it will be burning.

¹² For this cause, says the Lord, the God of Israel, I will send such evil on Jerusalem and Judah that the ears of all to whom the news comes will be burning.

³ Say, Give ear to the word of the Lord, O kings of Judah and people of Jerusalem; the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said, See, I will send evil on this place which will be bitter to the ears of anyone hearing of it.

¹⁹ Whenever they come through they will overtake you; for they will come through morning after morning, by day and by night: and the news will be nothing but fear.

⁵ See among the nations, and take note, and be full of wonder: for in your days I am doing a work in which you will have no belief, even if news of it is given to you.

²⁶ Men's strength will go from them in fear and in waiting for the things which are coming on the earth; for the powers of the heavens will be moved.

⁴¹ See, you doubters, have wonder and come to your end; for I will do a thing in your days to which you will not give belief, even if it is made clear to you.

¹⁴ For this cause I will again do a strange thing among this people, a thing to be wondered at: and the wisdom of their wise men will come to nothing, and the sense of their guides will no longer be seen.

⁶ If the horn is sounded in the town will the people not be full of fear? will evil come on a town if the Lord has not done it?

⁷ Certainly the Lord will do nothing without making clear his secret to his servants, the prophets.
