12 And at that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps
and punish the men who settle down comfortably,[a](A)
who say to themselves:
The Lord will not do good or evil.
13 Their wealth will become plunder
and their houses a ruin.
They will build houses but never live in them,
plant vineyards but never drink their wine.(B)

14 The great Day of the Lord is near,(C)
near and rapidly approaching.
Listen, the Day of the Lord
then the warrior’s cry is bitter.
