Zephaniah 1:12-14
Christian Standard Bible
12 And at that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps
and punish those who settle down comfortably,[a](A)
who say to themselves:
The Lord will do nothing—good or bad.(B)
13 Their wealth will become plunder
and their houses a ruin.
They will build houses but never live in them,
plant vineyards but never drink their wine.(C)
14 The great day of the Lord is near,(D)
near and rapidly approaching.
Listen, the day of the Lord—
then the warrior’s cry is bitter.

- 1:12 Lit who thicken on their dregs
Zephaniah 1:12-14
New International Version
12 At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps
and punish those who are complacent,(A)
who are like wine left on its dregs,(B)
who think, ‘The Lord will do nothing,(C)
either good or bad.’(D)
13 Their wealth will be plundered,(E)
their houses demolished.
Though they build houses,
they will not live in them;
though they plant vineyards,
they will not drink the wine.”(F)
Zephaniah 1:12-14
King James Version
12 And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, The Lord will not do good, neither will he do evil.
13 Therefore their goods shall become a booty, and their houses a desolation: they shall also build houses, but not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof.
14 The great day of the Lord is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the Lord: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.
