Zephaniah 3:6–7

6 I have cut off nations;

their corner towersm are destroyed.

I have laid waste their streets,

with no one to pass through.

Their cities lie devastated,

without a person, without an inhabitant.n

7 I said: You will certainly fear me

and accept correction.

Then her dwelling placeE

would not be cut off

based on all that I had allocated to her.

However, they became more corrupt

in all their actions.
