12. At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps,and I will punish the menwho are settled on their lees,who say in their heart,“The Lord will not do good, nor will He do evil.”
13. Their goods will be plundered,and their houses laid waste.Though they build houses,they will not inhabit them;though they plant vineyards,they will not drink from their wine.
14. The great day of the Lord is near,near and hastening quickly.The sound of the day of the Lord is bitter;the mighty man shall cry out there.
15. That day is a day of wrath,a day of trouble and distress,a day of ruin and desolation,a day of darkness and gloom,a day of clouds and blackness,
16. a day of trumpet and alarmsagainst the fortified citiesand against the high towers.
