Judah's Impending Judgment
11 Howl, ye that dwell in the mill! For all the merchant people are gone, and all they that were laden with silver, are rooted out. 12 At the same time will I seek through Jerusalem with lanterns, and visit them that continue in their dregs, and say in their hearts, "Tush, the LORD will do neither good nor evil." 13 Their goods shall be spoiled, and their houses laid waste. They shall build houses, and not dwell in them: they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof.
