12 And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles,
and punish the men that are settled on their lees:
that say in their heart,
The Lord will not do good, neither will he do evil.
13 Therefore their goods shall become a booty,
and their houses a desolation:
they shall also build houses, but not inhabit them;
and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof.

14 The great day of the Lord is near,

even the voice of the day of the Lord:
the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.

12 At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps
    and punish those who are complacent,(A)
    who are like wine left on its dregs,(B)
who think, ‘The Lord will do nothing,(C)
    either good or bad.’(D)
13 Their wealth will be plundered,(E)
    their houses demolished.
Though they build houses,
    they will not live in them;
though they plant vineyards,
    they will not drink the wine.”(F)

14 The great day of the Lord(G) is near(H)
    near and coming quickly.
The cry on the day of the Lord is bitter;
    the Mighty Warrior shouts his battle cry.
