12 “Therefore their way will become for them like slippery places+ in the gloom, into which they will be pushed and certainly fall.”+

“For I shall bring upon them a calamity, the year of their being given attention,”+ is the utterance of Jehovah.

21 Furthermore, her hired [soldiers] in the midst of her are like fattened calves.+ But they themselves also have given way;+ they have fled together. They have not made a stand.+ For the very day of their disaster has come in upon them, the time of their being given attention.’+

4 Their best one is like a brier, [their] most upright one is worse than a thorn hedge.+ The day of your watchmen, [of] your being given attention, must come.+ Now will occur the confounding of them.+

44 and they will dash you and your children within you to the ground,+ and they will not leave a stone upon a stone+ in you, because you did not discern the time of your being inspected.”+
