9.” Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech.
10 Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.
11 “Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins.
12 They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
13 Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city:
14 Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;”

v. 9-10– Some people (yes, even those of us in the body of Christ) are like loose women, loving whatever we want with no thought of God–committing adultery with the things of this world. He is saying, to listen,and repent, for your time of reckoning is coming.
v. 11– “God is asking us to repent and turn to Him–disconnect ourselves from the things of this world, to bare our souls to Him, and put on the garments of humility.
v. 12-14– Unless we repent, and if we continue to love the things of this world, we are open for Satan’s “weeds” to grow in our hearts. We will be starving for the Word of Comfort from Our Lord, but will not hear it because of the softness of our souls. We see this happening in our times. People don’t want to work physically, mentally or spiritually. They seek after leisure instead of growth and development in all areas. The price will be emptiness, and distance from Our Lord.
