A (10) And it shall come to pass in that day, saith Yahweh, that there shall be THE NOISE <06963> of a cry from the fish gate, and an howling from the second,

B (10) and a GREAT crashing from the hills.

C (11) Howl, YE INHABITANTS <03427> of Maktesh, for all the merchant people are cut down; all they that bear silver are cut off.

D (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, Yahweh will not do good, neither will he do evil.

C′ (13) Therefore their goods shall become a booty, and their houses a desolation: they shall also build houses, but NOT INHABIT <03427> them; and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof.

B′ (14) The GREAT day of Yahweh is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly,

A′ (14) even THE VOICE <06963> of the day of Yahweh: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.
