Zephaniah 1:10-12
Good News Translation
10 “On that day,” says the Lord, “you will hear the sound of crying at the Fish Gate in Jerusalem. You will hear wailing in the newer part of the city and a great crashing sound in the hills. 11 Wail and cry when you hear this, you that live in the lower part of the city, because all the merchants will be dead!
12 “At that time I will take a lamp and search Jerusalem. I will punish the people who are self-satisfied and confident, who say to themselves, ‘The Lord never does anything, one way or the other.’

New International Version
10 “On that day,(A)”
declares the Lord,
“a cry will go up from the Fish Gate,(B)
wailing(C) from the New Quarter,
and a loud crash from the hills.
11 Wail,(D) you who live in the market district[a];
all your merchants will be wiped out,
all who trade with[b] silver will be destroyed.(E)
12 At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps
and punish those who are complacent,(F)
who are like wine left on its dregs,(G)
who think, ‘The Lord will do nothing,(H)
either good or bad.’(I)
