10 “And there shall be on that day”—a declaration of Yahweh—
    “a loud outcry[a] from the Fish Gate,
and a wailing from the Second District,
    and a loud[b] crashing from the hills.
11 The inhabitants of the Mortar shall wail,
    for all the traders have perished;
    all who trade with silver have been cut off.
12 And it shall be that at that time
I will search Jerusalem with lamps,
and I will punish the men
    whose senses are dulled from drinking,[c]
who say in their hearts,
    ‘Yahweh will not do good, nor will he do evil.’
