12And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with lamps; and I will punish the men that are settled on their lees, that say in their heart, Jehovah will not do good, neither will he do evil.
12 At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and I will punish the men who are complacent,1 those who say in their hearts, ‘The LORD will not do good, nor will he do ill.’
[1] 1:12 Hebrew are thickening on the dregs [of their wine]
12 And it shall come to pass at that time,
That I will search Jerusalem with candles,
And punish the men that are settled on their lees:
That say in their heart, The Lord will not do good, neither will he do evil.
12 And it shall be that at that time
I will search Jerusalem with lamps,
and I will punish the men
⌊whose senses are dulled from drinking⌋,
who say in their hearts,
‘Yahweh will not do good, nor will he do evil.’
12And it has come to pass at that time, || I search Jerusalem with lights, || And I have laid a charge on the men || Who are hardened on their preserved things, || Who are saying in their heart: YHWH does no good, nor does He do evil.
``It will come about at that time That I will search Jerusalem with lamps, And I will punish the men Who are stagnant in spirit, Who say in their hearts, `The LORD will not do good or evil!'
I will punish the people who are entrenched in their sin,
those who think to themselves,
‘The Lord neither rewards nor punishes.’
12“I will search with lanterns in Jerusalem’s darkest corners
to punish those who sit complacent in their sins.
They think the Lord will do nothing to them,
either good or bad.
