Zephaniah 1:10-12
The Voice
10 On that day, you will hear cries from all over the city of Jerusalem—
first a cry for help from the fish gate on the north side of the city,
Then a wailing cry from the newly-built Second Quarter.
Then crash! Stones are falling, breaking;
Sounds of destruction are coming from the suburban hills.
11 Cry out, those of you living in the bottom of Jerusalem’s southern hollow,
because I will stop all the traveling merchants.
Everyone with pockets full of money will be cut off.
12 On that day, I will personally search and illumine every dark corner of Jerusalem.
I will wipe out everyone who has numbed his senses with the dregs of his own wine
And says, “The Eternal will do nothing in our lives,
neither helping us nor hurting us.”
Zephaniah 1:10-12
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)
