On that day I will punish
national leaders
    and sons of the king,
along with all who follow
    foreign customs.[a]
I will punish worshipers
    of pagan gods[b]
and cruel palace officials
    who abuse their power.

10 I, the Lord, promise
    that on that day
noisy crying will be heard
from Fish Gate, New Town,
    and Upper Hills.
