Verse 13

The treasures of the Jerusalemites and all the Judeans would become plunder for the enemy, and their houses would become vacant if not destroyed. They would build houses but not be able to live in them because the Babylonian invasion would come quickly. They would plant vineyards but not be able to drink their wine for the same reason (cf. Leviticus 26:32-33; Deuteronomy 28:30; Deuteronomy 28:39; Amos 5:11; Micah 6:15).

"Rather than condemning the use of alcohol, as the passage could be understood (NEB), Zephaniah condemns apathy." [Note: Ibid., p. 98.]
