Zephaniah 1:11-13
Evangelical Heritage Version
11 Wail, you who sit in the marketplace,[a] for all the merchants are destroyed. All those who weigh out silver will be cut off.
12 At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps, to deal with the men who are complacent, like wine resting on its dregs, who say in their hearts, “The Lord will not do anything good. Neither will he do anything bad.” 13 Therefore their wealth will become plunder, and their houses a ruin. They will build houses but never live in them. They will plant vineyards, but they will not drink the wine.
