Zephaniah 3:7-9
King James Version
7 I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive instruction; so their dwelling should not be cut off, howsoever I punished them: but they rose early, and corrupted all their doings.
8 Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the Lord, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
9 For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord, to serve him with one consent.

Zephaniah 3:7-9
New American Standard Bible
7 I said, ‘You will certainly revere Me,
You will (A)accept discipline.’
So her dwelling will (B)not be eliminated
In accordance with everything that I have stipulated for her.
Instead, they were eager to (C)corrupt all their deeds.
8 “Therefore (D)wait for Me,” declares the Lord,
“For the day when I rise up as a witness.
Indeed, My decision is to (E)gather nations,
To assemble kingdoms,
To pour out on them My indignation,
All My burning anger;
For (F)all the earth will be devoured
By the fire of My zeal.
9 For then I will [a]restore to the peoples (G)pure lips,
So that all of them may (H)call on the name of the Lord,
To serve Him [b]shoulder to shoulder.

Revelation 19:13-21
King James Version
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

13 He is clothed with a (A)robe dipped in blood, and His name is called (B)The Word of God. 14 And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in (C)fine linen, (D)white and clean, were following Him on white horses. 15 (E)From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that (F)with it He may strike down the nations, and He will [a](G)rule them with a rod of iron; and (H)He treads the [b]wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. 16 And on His robe and on His thigh He has (I)a name written: “(J)KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”
17 Then I saw [c]an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to (K)all the birds that fly in (L)midheaven, “(M)Come, assemble for the great feast of God, 18 so that you may (N)eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of commanders, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, (O)both free and slaves, and (P)small and great.”
19 And I saw (Q)the beast and (R)the kings of the earth and their armies, assembled to make war against Him who (S)sat on the horse, and against His army.
Doom of the Beast and False Prophet
20 And the beast was seized, and with him the (T)false prophet who (U)performed the signs [d](V)in his presence, by which he (W)deceived those who had received the (X)mark of the beast and those who (Y)worshiped his image; these two were thrown alive into the (Z)lake of (AA)fire, which burns with [e]brimstone. 21 And the rest were killed with the sword which (AB)came from the mouth of Him who (AC)sat on the horse, and (AD)all the birds were filled with their flesh.

13 And he is arrayed in a garment [a]sprinkled with blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies which are in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and pure. 15 And out of his mouth proceedeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the [b]winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty. 16 And he hath on his garment and on his thigh a name written, King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.
