And bhave not sought the Lord, nor inquired of Him.”
bFor the day of the Lord is at hand,
For cthe Lord has prepared a sacrifice;
He has1 invited His guests.
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.
All those who aleap over the threshold,
Who fill their masters’ houses with violence and deceit.
“The sound of a mournful cry from athe Fish Gate,
A wailing from the Second Quarter,
And a loud crashing from the hills.
For all the merchant people are cut down;
All those who handle money are cut off.
