Zephaniah 1:13-17 New English Translation (NET)

13. Their wealth will be stolenand their houses ruined!They will not live in the houses they have built,nor will they drink the wine from the vineyards they have planted.

14. The Lord’s great day of judgment is almost here;it is approaching very rapidly!There will be a bitter sound on the Lord’s day of judgment;at that time warriors will cry out in battle.

15. That day will be a day of God’s anger,a day of distress and hardship,a day of devastation and ruin,a day of darkness and gloom,a day of clouds and dark skies,

16. a day of trumpet blasts and battle cries.Judgment will fall on the fortified cities and the high corner towers.

17. I will bring distress on the peopleand they will stumble like blind men,for they have sinned against the Lord.Their blood will be poured out like dirt;their flesh will be scattered like manure.
