Zephaniah 1:12

Judah's Impending Judgment

¹¹ Because of the downfall of all the people of Canaan: all those who were weighted down with silver have been cut off. ¹² And it will come about at that time, that I will go searching through Jerusalem with lights; and I will send punishment on the men who have become like wine stored over-long, who say to themselves, The Lord will not do good and will not do evil. ¹³ And their wealth will be violently taken away, and their houses will be made waste: they will go on building houses and never living in them, and planting vine-gardens but not drinking the wine from them.
