Zephaniah 3:7-8
King James Version
7 I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive instruction; so their dwelling should not be cut off, howsoever I punished them: but they rose early, and corrupted all their doings.
8 Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the Lord, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.

Zephaniah 3:7-8
English Standard Version
7 (A)I said, ‘Surely you will fear me;
(B)you will accept correction.
Then your[a] dwelling would not be cut off
according to all that I have appointed against you.’[b]
But (C)all the more they were eager
to make all their deeds corrupt.
8 “Therefore (D)wait for me,” declares the Lord,
“for the day when I rise up to seize the prey.
For my decision is (E)to gather nations,
to assemble kingdoms,
to pour out upon them my indignation,
all my burning anger;
for in the fire of my jealousy
(F)all the earth shall be consumed.
