Zephaniah 1:7-13
712Be silent before the Lord 3God! For the 4day of the Lord is near, Because the Lord has prepared a 5sacrifice, He has 6consecrated His guests.8“Then it will come about on the day of the Lord’s sacrifice That I will 7punish the princes, the king’s sons, And all who clothe themselves with 8foreign garments.9And on that day I will punish all who leap on the temple threshold, Who fill the house of their 9lord with 10violence and deceit.10And on that day,” declares the Lord, “There will be the sound of a cry from the 11Fish Gate, Wailing from the 1213Second Quarter, And a loud crash from the 14hills.11Wail, you inhabitants of the 15Mortar, Because all the 16people of 17Canaan will be destroyed; All who weigh out 18silver will be eliminated.12And it will come about at that time That I will 19search Jerusalem with lamps, And I will punish the people Who are 2021stagnant in spirit, Who say in their hearts, ‘The Lord will 22not do good nor harm!’13Their wealth will become 23plunder, And their houses desolate; Yes, 24they will build houses but not inhabit them, And plant vineyards but not drink their wine.”
