8 “On the day of the Lord’s sacrifice

I will punish the officials

and the king’s sons

and all those clad

in foreign clothes.

9 On that day I will punish

all who avoid stepping on the threshold,

who fill the temple of their gods

with violence and deceit.

10 “On that day,”

declares the Lord,

“a cry will go up from the Fish Gate,

wailing from the New Quarter,

and a loud crash from the hills.

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.’

8 And it shall come to pass in the day of the Lord’s sacrifice,

That I will punish the princes, and the king’s children,

And all such as are clothed with strange apparel.

9 In the same day also will I punish all those that leap on the threshold,

Which fill their masters’ houses with violence and deceit.

10 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord,

That there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate,

And an howling from the second,

And a great crashing from the hills.

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.

8 “On that day of judgment,”

says the Lord,

“I will punish the leaders and princes of Judah

and all those following pagan customs.

9 Yes, I will punish those who participate in pagan worship ceremonies,

and those who fill their masters’ houses with violence and deceit.

10 “On that day,” says the Lord,

“a cry of alarm will come from the Fish Gate

and echo throughout the New Quarter of the city.

And a great crash will sound from the hills.

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.

8 “And it shall be,

In the day of the Lord’s sacrifice,

That I will punish the princes and the king’s children,

And all such as are clothed with foreign apparel.

9 In the same day I will punish

All those who leap over the threshold,

Who fill their masters’ houses with violence and deceit.

10 “And there shall be on that day,” says the Lord,

“The sound of a mournful cry from the Fish Gate,

A wailing from the Second Quarter,

And a loud crashing from the hills.

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.’

8 On the day of the Lord’s sacrifice,

I, the Lord, will punish the princes and the king’s sons

and all those who wear foreign clothes.

9 On that day I will punish those who worship Dagon,

those who hurt others and tell lies in the temples of their gods.

10 “On that day,” says the Lord,

“a cry will be heard at the Fish Gate.

A wail will come from the new area of the city,

and a loud crash will echo from the hills.

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.’

8 And it shall come to pass in the day of Jehovah’s sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king’s sons, and all such as are clothed with foreign apparel. 9 And in that day I will punish all those that leap over the threshold, that fill their master’s house with violence and deceit. 10 And in that day, saith Jehovah, there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and a wailing from the second quarter, and a great crashing from the hills. 11 Wail, ye inhabitants of Maktesh; for all the people of Canaan are undone; all they that were laden with silver are cut off. 12 And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with lamps; and I will punish the men that are settled on their lees, that say in their heart, Jehovah will not do good, neither will he do evil.

8 And it shall come to pass in the day of Jehovah’s sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king’s sons, and all such as are clothed with foreign apparel. 9 And in that day will I punish all those that leap over the threshold, who fill their master’s house with violence and deceit. 10 And in that day, saith Jehovah, there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish-gate, and a howling from the second quarter, and a great crashing from the hills. 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.

8 “On the day of the Lord’s sacrifice I will punish the officials, 

the king’s sons, and all who dress in foreign clothing.

9 On that day I will punish all who jump over the doorway 

and all who fill their master’s house with violence and deception. 

10 On that day a loud cry will come from Fish Gate, 

a howling from the Second Part of the city, 

and a loud crashing sound from the hills,” declares the Lord. 

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. 

8 On the day of the Lord’s sacrifice

I will punish the officials, the king’s sons,

and all who are dressed in foreign clothing.

9 On that day I will punish

all who skip over the threshold,

who fill their master’s house

with violence and deceit.

10 On that day—

this is the Lord’s declaration—

there will be an outcry from the Fish Gate,

a wailing from the Second District,

and a loud crashing from the hills.

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.

8 And on the day of the Lord’s sacrifice

I will punish the officials and the king’s sons

and all who dress themselves in foreign attire.

9 On that day I will punish

all who leap over the threshold,

who fill their master’s house

with violence and fraud.

10 On that day, says the Lord,

a cry will be heard from the Fish Gate,

a wail from the Second Quarter,

a loud crash from the hills.

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.”

8 And it will happen on the day of the sacrifice of Yahweh,

I will punish the officials,

and the sons of the king,

and all those who dress in foreign clothing.

9 And on that day I will punish

all who leap over the threshold,

who fill up the house of their master

with violence and deceit.

10 “And there shall be on that day”—a declaration of Yahweh—

“a loud outcry from the Fish Gate,

and a wailing from the Second District,

and a loud crashing from the hills.

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.’

8 When my sacrifice is ready to be offered,

I will punish the princes and the king’s sons.

I will also judge all those who follow

the practices of other nations.

9 At that time I will punish

all those who worship other gods.

They fill the temples of their gods

with lies and other harmful things.

10 “At that time people at the Fish Gate in Jerusalem

will cry out,” announces the Lord.

“So will those at the New Quarter.

The buildings on the hills will come crashing down

with a loud noise.

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.’

8 “Then it will come about on the day of the Lord’s sacrifice

That I will punish the princes, the king’s sons

And all who clothe themselves with foreign garments.

9 “And I will punish on that day all who leap on the temple threshold,

Who fill the house of their lord with violence and deceit.

10 “On that day,” declares the Lord,

“There will be the sound of a cry from the Fish Gate,

A wail from the Second Quarter,

And a loud crash from the hills.

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!’
