8  And on the day of the Lord’s sacrifice—

^q“I will punish the officials and the king’s sons

and ^rall who array themselves in foreign attire.

9  On that day I will punish

everyone ^swho leaps over the threshold,

and those who fill their master’s¹ house

with violence and fraud.

12  At that time ^xI will search Jerusalem with lamps,

and I will punish the men

^ywho are complacent,¹

^zthose who say in their hearts,

‘The Lord will not do good,

nor will he do ill.’

18  ^oNeither their silver nor their gold

shall be able to deliver them

on the day of the wrath of the Lord.

^pIn the fire of his jealousy,

^qall the earth shall be consumed;

^rfor a full and sudden end

he will make of all the inhabitants of the earth.

3  ⁱHer officials within her

are roaring lions;

her judges are ^jevening wolves

that leave nothing till the morning.

4  ^kHer prophets are fickle, treacherous men;

^kher priests ^lprofane what is holy;

they do violence to the law.
