36:001:005 And them that worship the host of heaven
upon the housetops;
and
them that worship and that swear by the lord,
and that
swear
by Malcham;
36:001:006 And them that are turned back from the
lord; and those that
have
not sought the lord, nor enquired for him.
36:001:007 Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord
god: for the day of
the
lord is at hand: for the lord hath prepared
a sacrifice,
he
hath bid his guests.
36:001:008 And it shall come to pass in the day of
the LORD’s sacrifice,
that
I will punish the princes, and the king’s children,
and
all
such as are clothed with strange apparel.
36:001:009 In the same day also will I punish all
those that leap on the
threshold,
which fill their masters’ houses with violence
and
deceit.
36:001:010 And it shall come to pass in that day,
saith the lord, that
there
shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and
an
howling
from the second, and a great crashing from the hills.
36:001:011 Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all
the merchant people
are
cut down; all they that bear silver are cut off.
36:001:012 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.
36:001:013 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.
36:001:014 The great day of the lord is near,
it is near, and hasteth
greatly,
even the voice of the day of the lord: the
mighty man
shall
cry there bitterly.
36:001:015 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble
and distress, a
day
of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and
gloominess,
a day of clouds and thick darkness,
36:001:016 A day of the trumpet and alarm against
the fenced cities, and
against
the high towers.
36:001:017 And I will bring distress upon men, that
they shall walk like
blind
men, because they have sinned against the lord:
and
their
blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh
as
the
dung.
36:001:018 Neither their silver nor their gold shall
be able to deliver
them
in the day of the LORD’s wrath; but the whole
land shall
be
devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall
make
even
a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.
