Ezekiel 7:12

The time hath come. The day hath arrived, The buyer, let him not rejoice, and The seller, let him not mourn,— For indignation, is against all her multitude.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.

In Context

11Violence hath risen up as a sceptre of lawlessness, —There are none of them And none of their multitude And none of their throngs And no lamentation over them.

13For the seller, unto that which is to be sold, shall not return, though yet among the living, were their life, for the vision is against all her multitude. He shall not return, And, no man, by his punishment, shall strengthen, his life.
