6 And them that are turned back H5472 from the LORD H3068 EDS ; and those that H834 W-RPRO have not H3808 ADV sought H1245 the LORD H3068 EDS , nor H3808 W-NADV inquired H1875 for him .
7 Hold thy peace H2013 at the presence H6440 M-CMP of the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 : for H3588 CONJ the day H3117 NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS is at hand H7138 AMS : for H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS hath prepared H3559 a sacrifice H2077 NMS , he hath bid H6942 his guests H7121 .
8 And it shall come to pass H1961 W-VQQ3MS in the day H3117 B-NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS \'s sacrifice H2077 NMS , that I will punish H6485 the princes H8269 , and the king H4428 D-NMS \'s children H1121 , and all H3605 NMS such as are clothed H3847 with strange H5237 apparel H4403 .
9 In the same H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 B-AMS also will I punish H6485 all H3605 NMS those that leap H1801 on H5921 PREP the threshold H4670 , which fill H4390 D-VPPMP their masters H113 \' houses H1004 CMS with violence H2555 AMS and deceit H4820 .
10 And it shall come to pass H1961 W-VQQ3MS in that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 EDS , that there shall be the noise H6963 CMS of a cry H6818 from the fish H1709 gate H8179 , and a howling H3215 from H4480 PREP the second H4932 , and a great H1419 AMS crashing H7667 from the hills H1389 .
11 Howl H3213 , ye inhabitants H3427 of Maktesh H4389 , for H3588 CONJ all H3605 NMS the merchant H3667 LMS people H5971 NMS are cut down H1820 ; all H3605 NMS they that bear H5187 silver H3701 are cut off H3772 .

17 And I will bring distress H6887 upon men H120 , that they shall walk H1980 like blind men H5787 , because H3588 CONJ they have sinned H2398 against the LORD H3068 L-EDS : and their blood H1818 shall be poured out H8210 as dust H6083 , and their flesh H3894 as the dung H1561 .
18 Neither H3808 ADV their silver H3701 nor H1571 CONJ their gold H2091 shall be able H3201 VQY3MS to deliver H5337 them in the day H3117 B-NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS \'s wrath H5678 ; but the whole H3605 NMS land H776 D-GFS shall be devoured H398 by the fire H784 of his jealousy H7068 : for H3588 CONJ he shall make H6213 even H389 ADV a speedy H926 riddance H3617 of H854 all H3605 NMS them that dwell H3427 in the land H776 D-GFS .
