11 Everyone in Lower Hollow[a]
    will mourn loudly,
because merchants
and money changers
    will be wiped out.
12 I'll search Jerusalem with lamps
    and punish those people
who sit there unworried
    while thinking,
“The Lord won't do anything,
    good or bad.”
13 Their possessions will be taken,
    their homes left in ruins.
They won't get to live
    in the houses they build,
or drink wine from the grapes
    in their own vineyards.
