“It will come about during[a] the Lord’s sacrifice
    that I’ll punish the officials,[b] the royal descendants,
        and all who wear foreign clothing.[c]
At the same time, I’ll punish every idol worshipper,[d]
    especially those who are filling their master’s temple with violence and deceit.

    “a loud shriek will come[f] from the Fish Gate,
and howling from the Mishneh[g] Quarter,
    along with great destruction from the hills.”
