Zephaniah 1:17 in Context — Zephaniah 1
15 Aquele dia será dia de fúria; dia de angústia e de aflição, dia de devastação e de ruína; dia de trevas e de escuridão, dia de nuvens e de espessa obscuridade.
16 Dia de trombeta e de alarme contra as cidades forte e contra as torres as altas.
17 E angustiarei as pessoas, que andarão como cegas, porque pecaram contra o SENHOR; e o sangue delas será derramado como pó, e sua carne será como esterco.
18 Nem sua prata nem seu ouro poderá os livrar no dia do furor do SENHOR; pois toda esta terra será consumida pelo fogo de seu zelo; porque ele certamente fará destruição repentina com todos os moradores da terra.
