Zephaniah 1:14 - The Message

"The Great Judgment Day of God is almost here.
   It’s countdown time:...seven, six, five, four...
Bitter and noisy cries on my Judgment Day,
   even strong men screaming for help.
Judgment Day is payday—my anger paid out:
   a day of distress and anguish,
   a day of catastrophic doom,
   a day of darkness at noon,
   a day of black storm clouds,
   a day of bloodcurdling war cries,
   as forts are assaulted,
   as defenses are smashed.
I’ll make things so bad they won’t know what hit them.
   They’ll walk around groping like the blind.
   They’ve sinned against God!
Their blood will be poured out like old dishwater,
   their guts shoveled into slop buckets.
Don’t plan on buying your way out.
   Your money is worthless for this.
This is the Day of God’s Judgment—my wrath!
   I care about sin with fiery passion—
A fire to burn up the corrupted world,
   a wildfire finish to the corrupting people."
