Zephaniah 1:17
New American Standard Bible
17 I will bring (A)distress on mankind
So that they will walk (B)like those who are blind,
Because they have sinned against the Lord;
And their (C)blood will be poured out like dust,
And their (D)flesh like dung.

God Will Battle Jerusalem’s Enemies
14 Behold, a (A)day is coming for the Lord when (B)the spoils taken from you will be divided among you. 2 For I will (C)gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be taken, the (D)houses plundered, the women raped, and half of the city exiled, but the rest of the people will not be eliminated from the city. 3 Then the Lord will go forth and (E)fight against those nations, as [a]when He fights on a day of battle.

3 Then I will (A)strike your bow from your left hand and make your arrows fall from your right hand. 4 You will (B)fall on the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops, and the peoples who are with you; I will give you as (C)food to every [a]kind of predatory bird and animal of the field. 5 You will fall on the [b]open field; for it is I who have spoken,” declares the Lord God. 6 “And I will send (D)fire upon Magog and those who inhabit the (E)coastlands in safety; and they will know that I am the Lord.

God’s Wrath against Nations
34 Come near, (A)you nations, to hear; and listen, you peoples!
(B)Let the earth and [a]all it contains hear, and the world and all that springs from it.
2 For the Lord’s (C)anger is against all the nations,
And His wrath against all their armies.
He has [b](D)utterly destroyed them,
He has turned them over to (E)slaughter.
3 So their slain will be (F)thrown out,
And their corpses [c]will give off their (G)stench,
And the mountains will [d]be drenched with their (H)blood.
4 And (I)all the heavenly [e]lights will [f]wear away,
And the (J)sky will be rolled up like a scroll;
All its [g]lights will also wither away
As a leaf withers from the vine,
Or as one withers from the fig tree.
5 For (K)My sword has drunk its fill in heaven;
Behold it shall descend for judgment upon (L)Edom,
And upon the people whom I have (M)designated for destruction.
6 The sword of the Lord is filled with blood,
It drips with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats,
With the fat of the kidneys of rams.
For the Lord has a sacrifice in (N)Bozrah,
And a great slaughter in the land of (O)Edom.
7 (P)Wild oxen will also [h]fall with them
And (Q)young bulls with strong ones;
So their land will be (R)soaked with blood,
And their dust [i]become greasy with fat.
8 For the Lord has a day of (S)vengeance,
A year of retribution for the [j]cause of Zion.
