Zephaniah 1:12-14
New Catholic Bible
12 At that time
I will search Jerusalem by lantern-light
and punish all those people
who have become complacent,
like wine thickening in its sediment,
and who say in their hearts,
“The Lord will do nothing,
either good or bad.”
13 As a result, their wealth will be plundered
and their houses will lie in ruins.
Though they build houses,
they will not dwell in them;
though they plant vineyards,
they will not drink their wine.
14 The great day of the Lord is near,
near and coming quickly.
The sound of the day of the Lord is bitter
when the warrior shouts his cry of war.
