Zephaniah 3:6-8

Tree of Life Version

⁶ I have cut off nations.
Their towers have become desolate.
I have destroyed their streets.
    with no one passing by.
Their cities are laid waste,
    with no one—none living there.
⁷ I said, ‘Surely you will fear Me,
you will accept correction,
so her dwelling place would not be cut off—
all that I appointed against her.’
But they arose early
    and made all their deeds corrupt.
⁸ Therefore, wait for me, declares Adonai,
    for the day when I rise up for plunder:
    for My decision is to assemble nations,
    to gather kingdoms,^[a]
    to pour out My fury upon them—
        all My burning anger.
For in the fire of My wrath
    all the earth will be consumed.
