"And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, The Lord will not do good, neither will he do evil."
Zephaniah 1:12
The "settled on their lees" part is apparently about wine. According to Bible Hub, "Good wine, when it remains for a long time upon its lees, becomes stronger; but bad wine becomes harsher and thicker." Basically though, it is just saying that we can't be fence-sitters between the gospel and the world. If we try, we'll go bad anyway.
Today, let's take God's side, and commit ourselves to his cause and his kingdom rather than assuming that the Lord won't do as he says, or that judgement will never come. And if we really don't know which side we want to be on, then let's figure it out quickly, because standing still isn't going to be a good long-term strategy as we slowly go bad.
