Zephaniah 3:6-8
English Standard Version
6 (A)“I have cut off nations;
their battlements are in ruins;
I have laid waste their streets
(B)so that no one walks in them;
their cities have been made desolate,
without a man, without an inhabitant.
7 (C)I said, ‘Surely you will fear me;
(D)you will accept correction.
Then your[a] dwelling would not be cut off
according to all that I have appointed against you.’[b]
But (E)all the more they were eager
to make all their deeds corrupt.
8 “Therefore (F)wait for me,” declares the Lord,
“for the day when I rise up to seize the prey.
For my decision is (G)to gather nations,
to assemble kingdoms,
to pour out upon them my indignation,
all my burning anger;
for in the fire of my jealousy
(H)all the earth shall be consumed.
