若城中响起号角，居民岂不恐惧颤抖？若灾祸降临城中，岂不是耶和华的作为？

那时，有人盼望得到二十斗谷物，却只有十斗。有人盼望得到五十桶酒，榨酒池中却只有二十桶。我曾用虫灾、霉灾和冰雹毁灭你们的作物，你们仍没有归向我。这是耶和华说的。九月二十四日是我的殿奠定根基的日子。你们要思想这个日子，要认真思想。

“我必使埃及人彼此为敌——手足相残，邻居互斗，城邑相争，邦国互攻。

即使他们被敌人掳去，我也要命刀剑追杀他们。我要定睛在他们身上，不是要赐福而是要降祸。”

“不要以为我来了会让天下太平，我并非带来和平，乃是带来刀剑。因为我来是要叫儿子与父亲作对，女儿与母亲作对，媳妇与婆婆作对，家人之间反目成仇。

那时，人们出入不得平安，因为各地都有动乱。邦国与邦国、城邑与城邑互相攻击破坏，因为上帝用各样的灾难扰乱他们。但你们要刚强，不要双手发软，因为你们必因所行的而得奖赏。”
