9In the same day also wil I punish all those that leape on the threshold, which fill their masters houses with violence and deceit. 10And it shall come to passe in that day, saith the Lord, that there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and an howling from the second, and a great crashing from the hils. 11Howle yee inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant people are cut downe: all they that beare siluer are cut off. 12And it shall come to passe at that time, that I wil search Ierusalem with candles, and punish the men that are setled on their lees, that say in their heart, The Lord will not doe good, neither will he doe euill. 13Therefore their goods shall become a booty, and their houses a desolation: they shall also build houses, but not inhabite them, and they shall plant Uineyards, but not drinke the wine thereof.
