Zephaniah 1:12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
12 At that time,
I will search Jerusalem with lamps,
I will punish the people
who settle like dregs in wine,[a]
Who say in their hearts,
“The Lord will not do good,
nor will he do harm.”
Footnotes
- 1:12 Settle like dregs in wine: those who are overconfident because, like the sediment that settles to the bottom of a bottle of wine, they have remained at peace and undisturbed for a long time.
