Zephaniah 1:10

Zephaniah 1:10

8 “And it shall be,
In the day of the Lord’s sacrifice,
That I will punish ^athe princes and the king’s children,
And all such as are clothed with foreign apparel.

9 In the same day I will punish
All those who ^aleap over the threshold,
Who fill their masters’ houses with violence and deceit.

10 “And there shall be on that day,” says the Lord,
“The sound of a mournful cry from ^athe Fish Gate,
A wailing from the Second Quarter,
And a loud crashing from the hills.

11 ^aWail, you inhabitants of¹ Maktesh!
For all the merchant people are cut down;
All those who handle money are cut off.

12 “And it shall come to pass at that time
That I will search Jerusalem with lamps,
And punish the men
Who are ^asettled in complacency,
^bWho say in their heart,
‘The Lord will not do good,
Nor will He do evil.’

13 Therefore their goods shall become booty,
And their houses a desolation;
They shall build houses, but not inhabit them;
They shall plant vineyards, but ^anot drink their wine.”
