Nothing more than this

From Zephaniah 1-3

Prediction:

Nothing more than this:

doom, nothing can save

or deliver not money

not armies not cleverness

nothing: doom,

what you prize turns

to dust, what you hold dear

finds destruction

Promise:

Deliverance. No sorrows,

No capture. Deliverance,

rejoicing not sorrow

freedom not oppression 
light not darkness

deliverance
