⁴ I will stretch out my hand against Judah,
   and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
and I will cut off from this place every remnant of Baal
   and the name of the idolatrous priests;^*
5 those who bow down on the roofs
   to the host of the heavens;
those who bow down and swear to the Lord,
   but also swear by Milcom;^*
6 those who have turned back from following the Lord,
   who have not sought the Lord or inquired of him.

¹⁰ On that day, says the Lord,
   a cry will be heard from the Fish Gate,
a wail from the Second Quarter,
   a loud crash from the hills.
¹¹ The inhabitants of the Mortar wail,
   for all the traders have perished;
   all who weigh out silver are cut off.
¹² At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps,
   and I will punish the people
who rest complacently^* on their dregs,
   those who say in their hearts,
‘The Lord will not do good,
   nor will he do harm.’
¹³ Their wealth shall be plundered,
   and their houses laid waste.
Though they build houses,
   they shall not inhabit them;
though they plant vineyards,
   they shall not drink wine from them.
