There will be no more sound of happy parties on the mountains. Instead there will be shouts of fear. Very soon, I will punish you because of my great anger. You will know how angry I am. I will judge you for the way that you have lived. I will punish you as you deserve for the disgusting things that you have done. 9I will not be sorry for you. I will not be kind to you.

Terrible trouble is coming to you! Like a tree that is ready to make flowers, your proud and wicked acts are ready for punishment.
