Zephaniah 3:5-8

5The LORD within her is righteous; he does no wrong. Morning by morning he dispenses his justice, and every new day he does not fail, yet the unrighteous know no shame.

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; they are deserted and empty.

7Of Jerusalem I thought, ‘Surely you will fear me and accept correction!’ Then her place of refuge Or her sanctuary would not be destroyed, nor all my punishments come upon Or all those I appointed over her. But they were still eager to act corruptly in all they did.

8Therefore wait for me,” declares the LORD, “for the day I will stand up to testify. Septuagint and Syriac; Hebrew will rise up to plunder I have decided to assemble the nations, to gather the kingdoms and to pour out my wrath on them— all my fierce anger. The whole world will be consumed by the fire of my jealous anger.
