7 Be silent before the Lord GOD, because the Lord’S day for judging the people is coming soon. The Lord has prepared his sacrifice, and he has told his invited guests to get ready.
8 The Lord said, “On the Lord’S day of sacrifice, I will punish the king’s sons and other leaders. I will punish all the people wearing clothes from other countries.
9 At that time I will punish all the people who jump over the threshold and those who fill their master’s house with lies and violence.”
10 The Lord also said, “At that time people will be calling for help at Fish Gate in Jerusalem and mourning in the new part of town. They will hear the sound of destruction in the hills around the city.
11 You people living in the lower part of town will cry, because all the traders and rich merchants will be destroyed.
12 “At that time I will take a lamp and search through Jerusalem. I will find all those who are satisfied to live their own way. They say, ‘The Lord does nothing. He does not help, and he does not hurt!’ I will find them, and I will punish them.
13 Then others will take their wealth and destroy their houses. Those who built houses will not live in them, and those who planted vineyards will not drink the wine from the grapes.”
