Zephaniah 1:12-18

12And it shall comeH1961 to passH1961 at that time, that I will searchH2664 JerusalemH3389 with candles; and I will punishH6485 the menH376 that are settled on their lees, that sayH559 in their heartH3824, The LORDH3068 will notH3808 doH3190 goodH3190, neitherH3808 will he doH3190 evilH7489. 13And their wealthH2428 shall becomeH1961 a spoilH4933, and their housesH1004 a desolationH8077: yea, they shall buildH1129 housesH1004, but shall notH3808 inhabitH3427 them; and they shall plantH5193 vineyardsH3754, but shall notH3808 drinkH8354 the wineH3196 thereof. 14The greatH1419 dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is nearH7138, it is nearH7138 and hasteth greatlyH3966, even the voiceH6963 of the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068; the mightyH1368 manH1368 crieth there bitterlyH4751. 15That dayH3117 is a dayH3117 of wrathH5678, a dayH3117 of troubleH6869 and distressH6869, a dayH3117 of wasteness and desolationH4875, a dayH3117 of darknessH2822 and gloominess, a dayH3117 of cloudsH6051 and thickH6205 darknessH2822, 16a dayH3117 of the trumpetH7782 and alarmH8643, againstH5921 the fenced citiesH5892, and againstH5921 the highH1364 battlements. 17And I will bringH1980 distress upon menH120, that they shall walkH1980 like blindH5787 menH120, becauseH3588 they have sinnedH2398 againstH2398 the LORDH3068: and their bloodH1818 shall be pouredH8210 outH8210 as dustH6083, and their fleshH3894 as dungH1561. 18NeitherH3808 their silverH3701 norH3808 their goldH2091 shall be ableH3201 to deliverH5337 them in the dayH3117 of the LORD’SH3068 wrathH5678; but the wholeH3605 landH776 shall be devouredH398 by the fireH784 of his jealousyH7068: for he shall makeH6213 an endH3617, yeaH3588, a terrible endH3617, of allH3605 them that dwellH3427 in the landH776.
