Zephaniah 1:17

Context

1:17 I will bring distress on the people 1 

and they will stumble 2  like blind men,

for they have sinned against the Lord.

Their blood will be poured out like dirt;

their flesh 3  will be scattered 4  like manure.

1 tn “The people” refers to mankind in general (see vv. 2-3) or more specifically to the residents of Judah (see vv. 4-13).

2 tn Heb “walk.”

3 tn Some take the referent of “flesh” to be more specific here; cf. NEB (“bowels”), NAB (“brains”), NIV (“entrails”).

4 tn The words “will be scattered” are supplied in the translation for clarity based on the parallelism with “will be poured out” in the previous line.
