Zephaniah 1:12-14
New American Standard Bible
12 And it will come about at that time
That I will (A)search Jerusalem with lamps,
And I will punish the people
Who are [a](B)stagnant in spirit,
Who say in their hearts,
‘The Lord will (C)not do good nor harm!’
13 Their wealth will become (D)plunder,
And their houses desolate;
Yes, (E)they will build houses but not inhabit them,
And plant vineyards but not drink their wine.”
14 The (F)great (G)day of the Lord is near,
Near and coming very quickly;
Listen, the day of the Lord!
[b]In it the warrior (H)cries out bitterly.

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.
