And on the day of the Lord's sacrifice—
(A)“I will punish the officials and the king's sons
    and (B)all who array themselves in foreign attire.
On that day I will punish
    everyone (C)who leaps over the threshold,
and those who fill their master's[a] house
    with violence and fraud.

  1. Zephaniah 1:9 Or their Lord's

11 (A)Wail, O inhabitants of the Mortar!
    For all the traders[a] are no more;
    all who weigh out silver are cut off.
12 At that time (B)I will search Jerusalem with lamps,
    and I will punish the men
(C)who are complacent,[b]
    (D)those who say in their hearts,
‘The Lord will not do good,
    nor will he do ill.’
13 Their goods shall be (E)plundered,
    and their houses laid waste.
(F)Though they build houses,
    they shall not inhabit them;
(G)though they plant vineyards,
    they shall not drink wine from them.”
