These are Yahweh's words about Israel.

Disaster upon disaster will come

Disaster is spoken of as if it could move by itself. AT: "One disaster after another will happen" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification)

they will seek a vision from the prophet

"they will ask the prophets what visions they have seen"

the law will perish from the priest and advice from the elders

the hands of the people of the land will tremble in fear

The word "hands" is a synecdoche for the people. AT: "the people of the land will be so afraid that their hands will tremble" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche)
