They shave their heads in grief for you and dress themselves in burlap. They weep for you with bitter anguish and deep mourning.

It began with Demetrius, a silversmith who had a large business manufacturing silver shrines of the Greek goddess Artemis. He kept many craftsmen busy.He called them together, along with others employed in similar trades, and addressed them as follows:“ Gentlemen, you know that our wealth comes from this business.But as you have seen and heard, this man Paul has persuaded many people that handmade gods aren’t really gods at all. And he’s done this not only here in Ephesus but throughout the entire province!Of course, I’m not just talking about the loss of public respect for our business. I’m also concerned that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will lose its influence and that Artemis— this magnificent goddess worshiped throughout the province of Asia and all around the world— will be robbed of her great prestige!”

The buyers slaughter their sheep without remorse. The sellers say,‘ Praise the Lord! Now I’m rich!’ Even the shepherds have no compassion for them.

Her masters’ hopes of wealth were now shattered, so they grabbed Paul and Silas and dragged them before the authorities at the marketplace.

Therefore, this is what the Lord, the Lord God of Heaven’s Armies, says:“ There will be crying in all the public squares and mourning in every street. Call for the farmers to weep with you, and summon professional mourners to wail.There will be wailing in every vineyard, for I will destroy them all,” says the Lord.

He said to them,“ The Scriptures declare,‘ My Temple will be called a house of prayer for all nations,’ but you have turned it into a den of thieves.”

They were shouting as they caught up with them. The men of Dan turned around and said to Micah,“ What’s the matter? Why have you called these men together and chased after us like this?”“ What do you mean,‘ What’s the matter?’” Micah replied.“ You’ve taken away all the gods I have made, and my priest, and I have nothing left!”

They will stand at a distance, terrified by her great torment. They will cry out,“ How terrible, how terrible for you, O Babylon, you great city! In a single moment God’s judgment came on you.”The merchants of the world will weep and mourn for her, for there is no one left to buy their goods.

But no, the people are like crafty merchants selling from dishonest scales— they love to cheat.Israel boasts,“ I am rich! I’ve made a fortune all by myself! No one has caught me cheating! My record is spotless!”
