Matthew 13:25-30
New International Version
25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. 26 When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.
27 “The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’
28 “‘An enemy did this,’ he replied.
“The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’
29 “‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’”(A)

The Parable of the Weeds Explained
36 Then he left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, “Explain to us the parable(A) of the weeds in the field.”
37 He answered, “The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man.(B) 38 The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the people of the evil one,(C) 39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest(D) is the end of the age,(E) and the harvesters are angels.(F)
40 “As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. 41 The Son of Man(G) will send out his angels,(H) and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. 42 They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.(I) 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun(J) in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.(K)

and cause the nations to quake(E) before you!

you came down, and the mountains trembled(G) before you.

Zephaniah 1:9-18
New International Version
9 On that day I will punish
all who avoid stepping on the threshold,[a](A)
who fill the temple of their gods
with violence and deceit.(B)
10 “On that day,(C)”
declares the Lord,
“a cry will go up from the Fish Gate,(D)
wailing(E) from the New Quarter,
and a loud crash from the hills.
11 Wail,(F) you who live in the market district[b];
all your merchants will be wiped out,
all who trade with[c] silver will be destroyed.(G)
12 At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps
and punish those who are complacent,(H)
who are like wine left on its dregs,(I)
who think, ‘The Lord will do nothing,(J)
either good or bad.’(K)
13 Their wealth will be plundered,(L)
their houses demolished.
Though they build houses,
they will not live in them;
though they plant vineyards,
they will not drink the wine.”(M)
14 The great day of the Lord(N) is near(O)—
near and coming quickly.
The cry on the day of the Lord is bitter;
the Mighty Warrior shouts his battle cry.
15 That day will be a day of wrath—
a day of distress and anguish,
a day of trouble and ruin,
a day of darkness(P) and gloom,
a day of clouds and blackness(Q)—
16 a day of trumpet and battle cry(R)
against the fortified cities
and against the corner towers.(S)
17 “I will bring such distress(T) on all people
that they will grope about like those who are blind,(U)
because they have sinned against the Lord.
Their blood will be poured out(V) like dust
and their entrails like dung.(W)
18 Neither their silver nor their gold
will be able to save them
on the day of the Lord’s wrath.”(X)
