Zephaniah 1:12-14

EasyEnglish Bible

¹² ‘At that time,

I will look in all Jerusalem's dark corners. I will take lights with me.

I will find the drunks and I will punish them. These people say in their minds,

“The Lord will do neither good things nor bad things to us.”

¹³ So I will take away from them everything that they have.

I will take away their houses too.

They will build houses, but they will never live in them.

They will plant plants to get grapes. But they will never have wine from them.’

The great day of the Lord

¹⁴ The time for the great day of the Lord is coming very soon.

It will happen quickly.

Strong men will weep when they hear the noise of it.
