Zephaniah 1:13

Judah's Impending Judgment

¹² And it shall come to pass, at that time, that I will search through Jerusalem, with lamps, - and will punish the men who are thickened upon their lees, who are saying in their heart, Yahweh, will not give blessing, neither will he bring calamity. ¹³ Therefore shall their goods become a booty, and their houses, a desolation, - and they shall build houses, but not inhabit them, and plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof. ¹⁴ Near is the great day of Yahweh, near, and very speedy, - The noise of the day of Yahweh, a strong man - there! - bitterly crying out!
