Zephaniah 1:17

Judah's Impending Judgment

¹⁶ day of horn, and war-shout, - against the fortified cities, and against the high towers. ¹⁷ And I will bring distress to mankind, and they shall walk like them who are blind, because, against Yahweh, have they sinned, - and their blood, shall be poured out, as dust, and their bowels like dung. ¹⁸ Neither their silver nor yet their gold, shall be able to deliver them, in the day of the indignation of Yahweh, but, in the fire of his jealousy, shall the whole earth be consumed; For, a destruction, surely a terrible one, will he make, with all them who dwell in the earth.
