11 ·Cry [Wail], you people living in ·the market area [or the lower town; or Mortar; C possibly a place name],
    because all the merchants will ·be dead [be destroyed; or disappear];
    all the silver traders will be ·gone [L cut off].
12 At that time I, the Lord, will search Jerusalem with lamps.
    I will punish those who are ·satisfied with themselves [complacent; or entrenched in sin; L thickened in their dregs/sediment],
    who think, ‘The Lord won’t ·help us or punish us [L do good or evil].’
13 Their wealth will be ·stolen [plundered]
    and their houses ·destroyed [ruined; laid waste].
They may build houses,
    but they will not live in them.
They may plant vineyards,
    but they will not drink any wine from them.
