A wailing from the Second Quarter,
And a loud crashing from the hills.

‘The Lord will not do good,
Nor will He do evil.’
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,

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.”
And their houses a desolation;
They shall build houses, but not inhabit them;
They shall plant vineyards, but anot drink their wine.”
14 aThe great day of the Lord is near;
It is near and hastens quickly.
The noise of the day of the Lord is bitter;
There the mighty men shall cry out.
It is near and hastens quickly.
The noise of the day of the Lord is bitter;
There the mighty men shall cry out.
