Wisdom and Poetical Books

Was everyone included in the destruction?

No. Zephaniah said there was a faithful group of people who were not included in the destruction: “But I will leave within you the meek and humble, who trust in the name of the LORD. The remnant of Israel will do no wrong; they will speak no lies, nor will deceit be found in the mouths. They will eat and lie down and no one will make them afraid.” (NIV, Zephaniah 3:12–13)
