“A man shall desire to go into a city, and shall not be able.”
Context
14Woe to the world and them that dwell therein!
15For the sword and their destruction draweth nigh, and one people shall stand up and fight against another, and swords in their hands.
16For there shall be sedition among men, and invading one another; they shall not regard their kings nor princes, and the course of their actions shall stand in their power.
17A man shall desire to go into a city, and shall not be able.
18For because of their pride the cities shall be troubled, the houses shall be destroyed, and men shall be afraid.
19A man shall have no pity upon his neighbour, but shall destroy their houses with the sword, and spoil their goods, because of the lack of bread, and for great tribulation.
20Behold, saith God, I will call together all the kings of the earth to reverence me, which are from the rising of the sun, from the south, from the east, and Libanus; to turn themselves one against another, and repay the things that they have done to them.
