Zephaniah 3:6-8
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
6 “I have cut off nations;
their battlements are in ruins;
I have laid waste their streets
so that none walks in them;
their cities have been made desolate,
without a man, without an inhabitant.
7 I said, ‘Surely she will fear me,
she will accept correction;
she will not lose sight[a]
of all that I have enjoined upon her.’
But all the more they were eager
to make all their deeds corrupt.”
Punishment and Conversion of the Nations
8 “Therefore wait for me,” says the Lord,
“for the day when I arise as a witness.
For my decision is to gather nations,
to assemble kingdoms,
to pour out upon them my indignation,
all the heat of my anger;
for in the fire of my jealous wrath
all the earth shall be consumed.
