Zephaniah 1:12

12 And at that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps and punish the men who settle down comfortably,[a] who say to themselves: The Lord will not do good or evil.

Zephaniah 1:12 In-Context

10 On that day- the Lord's declaration- there will be an outcry from the Fish Gate, a wailing from the Second District, and a loud crashing from the hills.
11 Wail, you residents of the Hollow, for all the merchants will be silenced; all those loaded with silver will be cut off.
12 And at that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps and punish the men who settle down comfortably, who say to themselves: The Lord will not do good or evil.
13 Their wealth will become plunder and their houses a ruin. They will build houses but never live [in them], plant vineyards but never drink their wine.
14 The great Day of the Lord is near, near and rapidly approaching. Listen, the Day of the Lord- there the warrior's cry is bitter.
