Zephaniah

• 21-3 Gather yourselves together, yea, gather
  together, O nation not desired Before the decree
  bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff,
  before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon
  you, before the day of the LORD's anger come upon
  you. Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth,
  which have wrought his judgment seek
  righteousness, seek meekness it may be ye shall
  be hid in the day of the LORD's anger.

Zephaniah

• 35-7 The just LORD is in the midst thereof he
  will not do iniquity every morning doth he bring
  his judgment to light, he faileth not but the
  unjust knoweth no shame. I have cut off the
  nations their towers are desolate I made their
  streets waste, that none passeth by their cities
  are destroyed, so that there is no man, that
  there is none inhabitant. I said, Surely thou
  wilt fear me, thou wilt receive instruction so
  their dwelling should not be cut off, howsoever I
  punished them but they rose early, and corrupted
  all their doings.
