Zephaniah 1:8-13
8“Then it will come about on the day of the Lord’s sacrifice That I will 1punish the princes, the king’s sons, And all who clothe themselves with 2foreign garments.9And on that day I will punish all who leap on the temple threshold, Who fill the house of their 3lord with 4violence and deceit.10And on that day,” declares the Lord, “There will be the sound of a cry from the 5Fish Gate, Wailing from the 67Second Quarter, And a loud crash from the 8hills.11Wail, you inhabitants of the 9Mortar, Because all the 10people of 11Canaan will be destroyed; All who weigh out 12silver will be eliminated.12And it will come about at that time That I will 13search Jerusalem with lamps, And I will punish the people Who are 1415stagnant in spirit, Who say in their hearts, ‘The Lord will 16not do good nor harm!’13Their wealth will become 17plunder, And their houses desolate; Yes, 18they will build houses but not inhabit them, And plant vineyards but not drink their wine.”
