Zephaniah 1:18
16 a day of trumpet blasts and battle cries. Judgment will fall on the fortified cities and the high corner towers. 17 I will bring distress on the people and they will stumble like blind men, for they have sinned against the Lord. Their blood will be poured out like dirt; their flesh will be scattered like manure. 18 Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them in the day of the Lord’s angry judgment. The whole earth will be consumed by his fiery wrath. Indeed, he will bring terrifying destruction on all who live on the earth.”
Ezekiel 7:19
17 All their hands will hang limp; their knees will be wet with urine. 18 They will wear sackcloth, terror will cover them; shame will be on all their faces, and all their heads will be shaved bald. 19 They will discard their silver in the streets, and their gold will be treated like filth. Their silver and gold will not be able to deliver them on the day of the Lord’s fury. They will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs because their wealth was the obstacle leading to their iniquity. 20 They rendered the beauty of his ornaments into pride, and with it they made their abominable images—their detestable idols. Therefore I will render it filthy to them. 21 I will give it to foreigners as loot, to the world’s wicked ones as plunder, and they will desecrate it.
Notes and References
"... Neither their silver ... compare Ezekiel 7:19 for an almost identical phrase which Ezekiel seems to have borrowed from Zephaniah. The entire earth. The Hebrew means either 'land' or 'earth' and it is not always easy to decide which. In light of the beginning of chapter 1, the prophecy against the nations in chapter 2, and my discussion of the Day of the Lord, I take it to mean 'earth' in this verse. While the main focus of God's wrath is Judah, the Judeans are warned that they cannot escape because God's wrath will encompass the whole earth ..."
