Manasseh and Josiah: the Worst and the Best
177
The noise of the day of the Lord is bitter;
There the mighty men shall cry out.
That day is a day of wrath,
A day of trouble and distress,
A day of devastation and desolation,
A day of darkness and gloominess,
A day of clouds and thick darkness,
A day of the trumpet and alarm
Against the fortified cities
And against the high towers.
Zephaniah 1:14-16
Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in
the day of the Lord’s wrath. But the whole land shall be devoured
by the fire of His jealousy, for He will make speedy riddance of all
those who dwell in the land.
Verse 18
.
Seek the Lord, all you meek of the earth,
Who have upheld His justice.
Seek righteousness, seek humility.
It may be that you will be hidden
In the day of the Lord’s anger.
Zephaniah 2:3
In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem:
“Do not fear;
Zion, let not your hands be weak.
The Lord your God in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.”
Zephaniah 3:16, 17
