Zephaniah 1:9-11
Evangelical Heritage Version
9 In the same day I will also deal with all who leap over the threshold,[a] who fill their master’s house with violence and deceit.
10 On that day, declares the Lord, there will be crying from the Fish Gate and wailing from the Second Quarter and the sound of a great crashing from the hills. 11 Wail, you who sit in the marketplace,[b] for all the merchants are destroyed. All those who weigh out silver will be cut off.
