Yeremia 16:6

16:6 Rich and poor alike will die in this land. They will not be buried or mourned. People will not cut their bodies or shave off their hair to show their grief for them. ¹ 

Zefanya 1:18

1:18 Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them

in the day of the Lord’s angry judgment.

The whole earth ²  will be consumed by his fiery wrath. ³ 

Indeed, ⁴  he will bring terrifying destruction ⁵  on all who live on the earth.” ⁶ 

[16:6]  ¹ sn These were apparently pagan customs associated with mourning (Isa 15:2; Jer 47:5) which were forbidden in Israel (Lev 19:8; 21:5) but apparently practiced anyway (Jer 41:5).

[1:18]  ² tn Or “land” (cf. NEB). This same word also occurs at the end of the present verse.

[1:18]  ³ tn Or “passion”; traditionally, “jealousy.”

[1:18]  ⁴ tn Or “for.”

[1:18]  ⁵ tn Heb “complete destruction, even terror, he will make.”

[1:18]  ⁶ tn It is not certain where the Lord’s words end and the prophet’s words begin. It is possible that Zephaniah begins speaking in the middle of v. 17 or at the beginning of v. 18 (note the third person pronouns referring to the Lord).
