11 Howl, inhabitants of Maktesh![a]
For all the people of Canaan[b] are destroyed.
All who weigh out silver are cut off.

and punish the men whose spirits have hardened,
who say in their hearts,

    their houses a ruin.

    but not live in them.
They will plant vineyards
    but not drink their wine.
