Zephaniah 1:12-14
New Living Translation
12 “I will search with lanterns in Jerusalem’s darkest corners
to punish those who sit complacent in their sins.
They think the Lord will do nothing to them,
either good or bad.
13 So their property will be plundered,
their homes will be ransacked.
They will build new homes
but never live in them.
They will plant vineyards
but never drink wine from them.
14 “That terrible day of the Lord is near.
Swiftly it comes—
a day of bitter tears,
a day when even strong men will cry out.
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)
