“On the day of the LORD’s sacrificial meal, I will punish the princes and the king’s sons, and all who wear foreign styles of clothing.
On that day I will punish all who leap over the threshold, who fill the house of their master with wealth taken by violence and deceit.
On that day,” says the LORD,“a loud cry will go up from the Fish Gate, wailing from the city’s newer district, and a loud crash from the hills.
Wail, you who live in the market district, for all the merchants will disappear and those who count money will be removed.
At that time I will search through Jerusalem with lamps. I will punish the people who are entrenched in their sin, those who think to themselves,‘The LORD neither rewards nor punishes.’
Their wealth will be stolen and their houses ruined! They will not live in the houses they have built, nor will they drink the wine from the vineyards they have planted.
The LORD’s great day of judgment is almost here; it is approaching very rapidly! There will be a bitter sound on the LORD’s day of judgment; at that time warriors will cry out in battle.
