11     Cry out, those of you living in the bottom of Jerusalem’s southern hollow,
        because I will stop all the traveling merchants.
    Everyone with pockets full of money will be cut off.
12     On that day, I will personally search and illumine every dark corner of Jerusalem.
        I will wipe out everyone who has numbed his senses with the dregs of his own wine
    And says, “The Eternal will do nothing in our lives,
        neither helping us nor hurting us.”
13     But they are wrong. Everything they value will be taken away.
        Their houses will be destroyed.
    They will build new houses and never have a chance to move in.
        They will plant vineyards and never enjoy a sip of their own wine.
