6. And those who have turned away from the Lord,and those who have not sought the Lord,who have not inquired of him.
7. Silence in the presence of the Lord God!for near is the day of the Lord,Yes, the Lord has prepared a sacrifice,he has consecrated his guests.
8. On the day of the Lord’s sacrificeI will punish the officials and the king’s sons,and all who dress in foreign apparel.
9. I will punish, on that day,all who leap over the threshold,Who fill the house of their masterwith violence and deceit.
10. On that day—oracle of the Lord—A cry will be heard from the Fish Gate,a wail from the Second Quarter,loud crashing from the hills.
11. Wail, O inhabitants of Maktesh!for all the merchants are destroyed,all who weigh out silver, done away with.
12. At that time,I will search Jerusalem with lamps,I will punish the peoplewho settle like dregs in wine,Who say in their hearts,“The Lord will not do good,nor will he do harm.”
13. Their wealth shall be given to plunderand their houses to devastation;They will build houses,but not dwell in them;They will plant vineyards,but not drink their wine.
