On that day(A) I will punish
all who skip over the threshold,[a](B)
who fill their master’s house
with violence and deceit.

10 On that day—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
there will be an outcry from the Fish Gate,(C)
a wailing from the Second District,(D)
and a loud crashing from the hills.
11 Wail, you residents of the Hollow,[b]
for all the merchants[c] will be silenced;
all those loaded with silver will be cut off.
