On the day of the Lord’s sacrifice,
    I, the Lord, will punish the princes and the king’s sons
    and all those who wear foreign clothes.
On that day I will punish those who worship Dagon,
    those who hurt others and tell lies in the temples of their gods.

    A wail will come from the new area of the city,
    and a loud crash will echo from the hills.
