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.

Zephaniah 3:6-8
New International Version
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;(A)
they are deserted and empty.
7 Of Jerusalem I thought,
‘Surely you will fear me
and accept correction!’(B)
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(C) in all they did.
8 Therefore wait(D) for me,”
declares the Lord,
“for the day I will stand up to testify.[c]
I have decided to assemble(E) the nations,(F)
to gather the kingdoms
and to pour out my wrath(G) on them—
all my fierce anger.(H)
The whole world will be consumed(I)
by the fire of my jealous anger.
