Zephaniah 1:10-12

Good News Translation

¹⁰ “On that day,” says the Lord, “you will hear the sound of crying at the Fish Gate in Jerusalem. You will hear wailing in the newer part of the city and a great crashing sound in the hills. ¹¹ Wail and cry when you hear this, you that live in the lower part of the city, because all the merchants will be dead!

¹² “At that time I will take a lamp and search Jerusalem. I will punish the people who are self-satisfied and confident, who say to themselves, ‘The Lord never does anything, one way or the other.’
