Zephaniah 1:10-12

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁰ The Lord says, ‘On that day you will hear the noise of people who are shouting from one gate of the city. It is the gate called the Fish Gate.

And there will be sad sounds from the next gate.

There will be loud noises from the hills.

¹¹ Shout out, you who live near Jerusalem's market! Weep!

The Lord will remove the traders from your town.

Some people have lots of money there. But all those people will be dead then.’^[a]

¹² ‘At that time,

I will look in all Jerusalem's dark corners. I will take lights with me.

I will find the drunks and I will punish them. These people say in their minds,

“The Lord will do neither good things nor bad things to us.”
