I will destroy those who used to worship me but now no longer do (Zephaniah 1:6)

Lord brought me to Zephaniah 1 today, as I was recommitting myself to Him and looking for guidance. This verse stands out.
"And I will destroy those who used to worship me
    but now no longer do.
They no longer ask for the Lord’s guidance
    or seek my blessings.” Zephaniah 1:6

Zephaniah 1:1) word of the LORD came to Zephaniah (4th generation from Hezekiah) during Josiah king of Judah
 - 2 Peter 1:20-21, Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

2-3) everything on earth, all mankind will be destroyed
4-6) hand against Judah, Baal worship, idolatrous priests, astrologers, apostate believers

Then tonight I was studying morality with friends and Luke 8:4-18 was discussed. After we see the parable of the Sower and soils Jesus talks about the lampstand:
 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.(L) 18 Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they think they have will be taken from them.
