Zephaniah 1:11-13

Common English Bible

¹¹The ones who grind the grain^[a] will wail;
        all the merchants will be silenced.
        I will eliminate all those weighing out silver.
¹²At that time, I will search Jerusalem with lamps;
        I will punish the men growing fat on the sediment in their wine,
            those saying to themselves, The Lord won’t do good or evil.
¹³        Their wealth will be looted and their houses destroyed.
        They will rebuild houses, but not live in them;
        they will plant vineyards, but not drink the wine.

¹¹Wail,^(A) you who live in the market district^[a];
    all your merchants will be wiped out,
    all who trade with^[b] silver will be destroyed.^(B)
¹²At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps
    and punish those who are complacent,^(C)

Though they build houses,
