Zephaniah 1:10-12
Expanded Bible
10 “On that day,” says the Lord,
“a cry will be heard at the Fish Gate.
A wail will come from the ·new area of the city [L Second Quarter],
and a loud crash will echo from the hills.
11 ·Cry [Wail], you people living in ·the market area [or the lower town; or Mortar; C possibly a place name],
because all the merchants will ·be dead [be destroyed; or disappear];
all the silver traders will be ·gone [L cut off].
12 At that time I, the Lord, will search Jerusalem with lamps.
I will punish those who are ·satisfied with themselves [complacent; or entrenched in sin; L thickened in their dregs/sediment],
who think, ‘The Lord won’t ·help us or punish us [L do good or evil].’

10 “On that day,(A)”
declares the Lord,
“a cry will go up from the Fish Gate,(B)
wailing(C) from the New Quarter,
and a loud crash from the hills.
11 Wail,(D) you who live in the market district[a];
all your merchants will be wiped out,
all who trade with[b] silver will be destroyed.(E)
12 At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps
and punish those who are complacent,(F)
who are like wine left on its dregs,(G)
who think, ‘The Lord will do nothing,(H)
either good or bad.’(I)
