Zephaniah 3:8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
The Nations Punished and Jerusalem Restored
8 Therefore, wait for me—oracle of the Lord—
until the day when I arise as accuser;
For it is my decision to gather nations,
to assemble kingdoms,
In order to pour out upon them my wrath,
all my blazing anger;
For in the fire of my passion
all the earth will be consumed.(A)
Jeremiah 4:26-27
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
26 I looked—the garden land was a wilderness,
with all its cities destroyed
before the Lord, before his blazing anger.(A)
27 For thus says the Lord:
The whole earth shall be waste,
but I will not wholly destroy it.(B)
