Zephaniah 1:10-12

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁰ The Lord also said, “At that time people will be calling for help at Fish Gate in Jerusalem and mourning in the new part of town. They will hear the sound of destruction in the hills around the city. ¹¹ You people living in the lower part of town will cry, because all the traders and rich merchants will be destroyed.

¹² “At that time I will take a lamp and search through Jerusalem. I will find all those who are satisfied to live their own way. They say, ‘The Lord does nothing. He does not help, and he does not hurt!’ I will find them, and I will punish them.
