11 Wail, you who live in the market district;

all your merchants will be wiped out,

all who trade with silver will be destroyed.

12 At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps

and punish those who are complacent,

who are like wine left on its dregs,

who think, ‘The Lord will do nothing,

either good or bad.’

13 Their wealth will be plundered,

their houses demolished.

Though they build houses,

they will not live in them;

though they plant vineyards,

they will not drink the wine.”

11 Wail, O inhabitants of the Mortar!

For all the traders are no more;

all who weigh out silver are cut off.

12 At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps,

and I will punish the men

who are complacent,

those who say in their hearts,

‘The Lord will not do good,

nor will he do ill.’

13 Their goods shall be plundered,

and their houses laid waste.

Though they build houses,

they shall not inhabit them;

though they plant vineyards,

they shall not drink wine from them.”

11 Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh,

For all the merchant people are cut down;

All they that bear silver are cut off.

12 And it shall come to pass at that time,

That I will search Jerusalem with candles,

And punish the men that are settled on their lees:

That say in their heart, The Lord will not do good, neither will he do evil.

13 Therefore their goods shall become a booty, and their houses a desolation:

They shall also build houses, but not inhabit them;

And they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof.

11 Wail in sorrow, all you who live in the market area,

for all the merchants and traders will be destroyed.

12 “I will search with lanterns in Jerusalem’s darkest corners

to punish those who sit complacent in their sins.

They think the Lord will do nothing to them,

either good or bad.

13 So their property will be plundered,

their homes will be ransacked.

They will build new homes

but never live in them.

They will plant vineyards

but never drink wine from them.

11 Wail, you inhabitants of 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 settled in complacency,

Who 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 not drink their wine.”

11 Cry, you people living in the market area,

because all the merchants will be dead;

all the silver traders will be gone.

12 At that time I, the Lord, will search Jerusalem with lamps.

I will punish those who are satisfied with themselves,

who think, ‘The Lord won’t help us or punish us.’

13 Their wealth will be stolen

and their houses destroyed.

They may build houses,

but they will not live in them.

They may plant vineyards,

but they will not drink any wine from them.

11 Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh; for all the people of Canaan are cut down, all they that are laden with silver are cut off. 12 And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and punish the men that are settled on their lees, that say in their heart, Jehovah will not do good, neither will he do evil. 13 And their wealth shall become a booty, and their houses a desolation; and they shall build houses, and not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and not drink the wine thereof.

11 “Howl, inhabitants of the Mortar,

because all the merchants will be destroyed 

and all who handle money will be killed. 

12 “At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps and punish those 

who are satisfied with their hardened lifestyle, 

who think that the Lord won’t do anything—good or bad. 

13 Their wealth will be looted. 

Their homes will be demolished. 

They will build houses, but they won’t live in them. 

They will plant vineyards, but they won’t drink their wine.” 

11 Wail, you residents of the Hollow,

for all the merchants will be silenced;

all those loaded with silver will be cut off.

12 And at that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps

and punish the men who settle down comfortably,

who say to themselves:

The Lord will not do good or evil.

13 Their wealth will become plunder

and their houses a ruin.

They will build houses but never live in them,

plant vineyards but never drink their wine.

11 The inhabitants of the Mortar wail,

for all the traders have perished;

all who weigh out silver are cut off.

12 At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps,

and I will punish the people

who rest complacently on their dregs,

those who say in their hearts,

“The Lord will not do good,

nor will he do harm.”

13 Their wealth shall be plundered,

and their houses laid waste.

Though they build houses,

they shall not inhabit them;

though they plant vineyards,

they shall not drink wine from them.

11 The inhabitants of the Mortar shall wail,

for all the traders have perished;

all who trade with silver have been cut off.

12 And it shall be that at that time

I will search Jerusalem with lamps,

and I will punish the men

whose senses are dulled from drinking,

who say in their hearts,

‘Yahweh will not do good, nor will he do evil.’

13 Then their wealth shall be as plunder,

and their homes as desolation.

And they shall build their houses and not inhabit them,

and they shall plant vineyards and not drink their wine.”

11 Cry out, you who live in the market places.

All of your merchants will be wiped out.

Those who trade in silver will be destroyed.

12 At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps.

I will punish those who are so contented.

They are like wine that has not been shaken up.

They think, ‘The Lord won’t do anything.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s good or bad.’

13 Their wealth will be stolen.

Their houses will be destroyed.

They will build houses.

But they will not live in them.

They will plant vineyards.

But they will not drink the wine they produce.

11 “Wail, O inhabitants of the Mortar,

For all the people of Canaan will be silenced;

All who weigh out silver will be cut off.

12 “It will come about at that time

That I will search Jerusalem with lamps,

And I will punish the men

Who are stagnant in spirit,

Who say in their hearts,

‘The Lord will not do good or evil!’

13 “Moreover, their wealth will become plunder

And their houses desolate;

Yes, they will build houses but not inhabit them,

And plant vineyards but not drink their wine.”
