Zephaniah 3:5-7
New American Standard Bible
5 The Lord is (A)righteous (B)within her;
He will (C)do no injustice.
(D)Every morning He brings His justice to light;
He [a]does not fail.
But the [b]criminal (E)knows no shame.
6 “I have eliminated nations;
Their corner towers are deserted.
I have (F)laid waste their streets,
With no one passing by;
Their (G)cities have been laid waste,
Without a person, (H)without an inhabitant.
7 I said, ‘You will certainly revere Me,
You will (I)accept discipline.’
So her dwelling will (J)not be eliminated
In accordance with everything that I have stipulated for her.
Instead, they were eager to (K)corrupt all their deeds.

Jerusalem Remains Unrepentant
6 “I have destroyed nations;
their strongholds are demolished.
I have left their streets deserted,
with no one passing through.
Their cities are laid waste;(F)
they are deserted and empty.
7 Of Jerusalem I thought,
‘Surely you will fear me
and accept correction!’(G)
Then her place of refuge[a] would not be destroyed,
nor all my punishments come upon[b] her.
But they were still eager
to act corruptly(H) in all they did.
