Zep 3:6 | NET2full | STEP | “I destroyed nations ; their walled cities are in ruins . I turned their streets into ruins ; no one passes through them. Their cities are desolate ; no one lives there .

‏ Zephaniah 3:6

6 “I destroyed ^{▼▼tn Heb “cut off.”} nations;
their walled cities ^{▼▼tn Heb “corner towers”; NEB, NRSV “battlements.”} are in ruins.
I turned their streets into ruins;
no one passes through them.
Their cities are desolate; ^{▼▼tn This Hebrew verb (צָדָה, tsadah) occurs only here in the OT, but its meaning is established from the context and from an Aramaic cognate.}
no one lives there. ^{▼▼tn Heb “so that there is no man, without inhabitant.”}
