Zephaniah 1:11-13

Good News Translation

¹¹ Wail and cry when you hear this, you that live in the lower part of the city, because all the merchants will be dead!

¹² “At that time I will take a lamp and search Jerusalem. I will punish the people who are self-satisfied and confident, who say to themselves, ‘The Lord never does anything, one way or the other.’ ¹³ Their wealth will be looted and their houses destroyed. They will never live in the houses they are building or drink wine from the vineyards they are planting.”
