11 (A)Wail, O inhabitants of the Mortar!
    For all the traders[a] are no more;
    all who weigh out silver are cut off.
12 At that time (B)I will search Jerusalem with lamps,
    and I will punish the men
(C)who are complacent,[b]
    (D)those who say in their hearts,
‘The Lord will not do good,
    nor will he do ill.’
13 Their goods shall be (E)plundered,
    and their houses laid waste.
(F)Though they build houses,
    they shall not inhabit them;
(G)though they plant vineyards,
    they shall not drink wine from them.”
