Zephaniah 1:11

Judah's Impending Judgment

¹⁰ “On that day,” declares the Lord,

A wail from the Second Quarter,
And a loud crash from the hills.

¹² “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!’
