15:15 I said,
“Lord, you know how I suffer.

After we came to our senses
We are ashamed and humiliated
because of the disgraceful things we did previously.’

Their tent curtains, equipment, and camels will be carried off.
People will shout
‘Terror is all around you!’”

For judgment on her will be vast in its proportions.
It will be like it is piled up to heaven, stacked up into the clouds.’
