TSK · Zephaniah 1:3

So the LORD said,“I will wipe humankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth– everything from humankind to animals, including creatures that move on the ground and birds of the air, for I regret that I have made them.”

“I looked at the land and saw that it was an empty wasteland. I looked up at the sky, and its light had vanished.

So,” the Sovereign LORD says,“my raging fury will be poured out on this land. It will be poured out on human beings and animals, on trees and crops. And it will burn like a fire which cannot be extinguished.”

They will discard their silver in the streets, and their gold will be treated like filth. Their silver and gold will not be able to deliver them on the day of the LORD’s fury. They will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs because their wealth was the obstacle leading to their iniquity.

“Son of man, suppose a country sins against me by being unfaithful, and I stretch out my hand against it, cut off its bread supply, cause famine to come on it, and kill both people and animals.

Because they used to minister to them before their idols, and became a sinful obstacle to the house of Israel, consequently I have made a vow concerning them, declares the Sovereign LORD, that they will be responsible for their sin.

Assyria cannot save us; we will not ride warhorses. We will never again say,‘Our gods’ to what our own hands have made. For only you will show compassion to Orphan Israel!”

I will destroy the cities of your land, and tear down all your fortresses.

For I tell you, you will not see me from now until you say,‘Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
