In the same day I will punish
All those who (A)leap over the threshold,
Who fill their masters’ houses with violence and deceit.

10 “And there shall be on that day,” says the Lord,
“The sound of a mournful cry from (B)the Fish Gate,
A wailing from the Second Quarter,
And a loud crashing from the hills.
11 (C)Wail, you inhabitants of [a]Maktesh!
For all the merchant people are cut down;
All those who handle money are cut off.
