On the day of the Lord’s sacrifice,
        I will punish the princes, the king’s sons,
            and all those wearing foreign clothes.
I will punish the one leaping on the threshold on that day,

        an outcry will resound from the Fish Gate,
        wailing from the second quarter,
        a loud crash from the hills.
