Zephaniah 1:17-18
Living Bible
17 “I will make you as helpless as a blind man searching for a path because you have sinned against the Lord; therefore, your blood will be poured out into the dust and your bodies will lie there rotting on the ground.”
18 Your silver and gold will be of no use to you in that day of the Lord’s wrath. You cannot ransom yourselves with it.[a] For the whole land will be devoured by the fire of his jealousy. He will make a speedy riddance of all the people of Judah.
