6 Those who have turned back from following the Lord,And have not sought the Lord, nor inquired of Him.”
7 Be silent in the presence of the Lord God;For the day of the Lord is at hand,For the Lord has prepared a sacrifice;He has invited His guests.
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 punishAll 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 timeThat I will search Jerusalem with lamps,And punish the menWho are settled in complacency,Who say in their heart,‘The Lord will not do good,Nor will He do evil.’
