Zephaniah 1:10

Judah's Impending Judgment

⁹ On that day I will punish
all who skip over the threshold,
who fill their master’s house
with violence and deceit. ¹⁰ On that day—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
there will be an outcry from the Fish Gate,
a wailing from the Second District,
and a loud crashing from the hills.
¹¹ Wail, you residents of the Hollow,
for all the merchants will be silenced;
all those loaded with silver will be cut off.
