Zephaniah 1:9-11

EasyEnglish Bible

⁹ ‘I will also punish the people who rush into other people's houses. They do that because they want to rob those people.

On that same day, I will also punish other robbers. Those people fill their masters' houses with the things that they take.’

¹⁰ The Lord says, ‘On that day you will hear the noise of people who are shouting from one gate of the city. It is the gate called the Fish Gate.

And there will be sad sounds from the next gate.

There will be loud noises from the hills.

¹¹ Shout out, you who live near Jerusalem's market! Weep!

The Lord will remove the traders from your town.

Some people have lots of money there. But all those people will be dead then.’^[a]
