Judah's Impending Judgment

11 Howl, people of Maktesh, for all the people of Canaan are cut down; all those who carry silver are cut off. 12 And it shall be in that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and punish the men who are settled on their lees; who say in their heart, Jehovah will not do good, nor will He do evil. 13 And their goods shall become a prize and their houses a waste. They shall also build houses, but not live in them, and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink their wine.
