A
word of Jehovah
that hath
been
unto
Zephaniah son of Cushi, son of Gedaliah, son of Amariah, son of Hezikiah
, in the days of Josiah son of Amoz,
king of Judah:
This
is
the
word of the
LORD
that came
to
Zephaniah son of Cushi, the
son of Gedaliah, the
son of Amariah, the
son of Hezekiah
, in the days of Josiah son of Amon
king of Judah:
I utterly
consume
all
from off
the face of the ground
, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
“
I will
completely
sweep
away
everything
from the face of the earth
, ”
declares
the
LORD
.
I consume
man and beast ,
I consume
fowl
of the heavens
, and fishes
of the sea, And the stumbling-blocks
--
the
wicked ,
And
I have
cut off man
from the face of the ground,
An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
,
“
I will
sweep
away
man and beast ;
I will
sweep
away
the
birds
of the air
, and the
fish
of the sea, and the idols
with
their
wicked worshipers.
I will
cut off mankind
from the face of the earth
, ”
declares
the
LORD.
And
stretched
out My hand against Judah ,
And against all inhabiting
Jerusalem ,
And
cut off from this place the
remnant of Baal, The name
of the idolatrous priests,
with
the
priests ,
“I
will
stretch
out My hand against Judah and against all who
dwell
in
Jerusalem .
I
will
cut off from this place every
remnant of Baal, the names
of the idolatrous and
pagan
priests —
And
those bowing
themselves
On the roofs
to the host of the
heavens
, And
those bowing
themselves,
Swearing
to
Jehovah,
and swearing
by Malcham
,
those who
bow
on the rooftops
to worship
the host of heaven
, those who
bow
down
and swear
by the
LORD
but
also
swear
by
Milcom
,
And those removing
from
after
Jehovah,
And
who have
not
sought
Jehovah
, nor besought
Him.
and those who turn
back
from
following
the
LORD
, neither
seeking
the
LORD
nor inquiring
of
Him. ”
Hush!
because
of the Lord Jehovah
, For near
`is'
a
day of Jehovah
, For
prepared hath
Jehovah
a sacrifice ,
He hath
sanctified
His invited
ones
.
Be
silent
in
the
presence
of the Lord GOD
, for the
Day of the
LORD
is
near.
Indeed
, the
LORD
has
prepared a sacrifice ;
He has
consecrated
His guests
.
And
it
hath
come
to
pass,
In
the day of the sacrifice of
Jehovah,
That
I have
laid
a
charge
on
the heads
, And
on
sons of the king, And on
all putting
on
strange
clothing
.
“On
the Day of the LORD’s
sacrifice I will
punish
the princes
, the
sons of the king, and all who
are
dressed
in
foreign
apparel
.
And
I
have
laid
a
charge
on every
one
Who is
leaping
over the threshold in
that
day
, Who are
filling
the house of their masters
`
With '
violence and deceit.
On that
day
I
will
punish
all
who leap
over the threshold, who fill
the house of their master
with violence and deceit.
And
there
hath
been
in
that day, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah,
The noise
of
a cry from the fish -
gate, And
of
a howling
from the Second, And of
great
destruction
from the hills.
On
that day, ”
declares
the LORD,
“
a cry will
go
up
from the Fish Gate, a wail
from the Second District
, and a
loud
crashing
from the hills.
Howl
, ye
inhabitants
of the hollow place
, For cut
off
hath
been
all the
merchant
people,
Cut
off
have
been
all bearing
silver.
Wail
, O
dwellers
of the Hollow, for all your
merchants
will
be
silenced;
all who
weigh
out
silver will
be
cut
off
.
And it
hath
come
to
pass,
at that time ,
I search Jerusalem with lights,
And I
have
laid
a
charge
on
the men Who
are
hardened
on
their
preserved
things
, Who are
saying
in
their
heart:
Jehovah
doth
no
good
, nor
doth
He
evil
.
And at that time I will
search Jerusalem with lamps
and punish
the men settled
in
complacency
, who say
to
themselves
, ‘The
LORD
will
do
nothing,
either
good
or
bad
. ’
And
their wealth hath
been
for
a
spoil,
And their houses for
desolation,
And
they have
built
houses ,
and
do
not inhabit, And they
have
planted
vineyards ,
And
they
do
not
drink their wine.
Their wealth will
be
plundered
and their houses laid
waste.
They will
build
houses but
not inhabit them
, and plant
vineyards but
never
drink their wine.
Near
`is'
the great day of Jehovah,
Near ,
and hasting
exceedingly
, The noise
of the day
of Jehovah,
Bitterly
shriek
there
doth
a
mighty one
.
The great Day of the
LORD
is
near —
near
and coming
quickly.
Listen
, the Day
of the LORD!
Then
the
cry
of the
mighty will
be
bitter
.
A day of wrath `is'
that
day
, A day of adversity
and distress, A day of waste
and desolation, A day of darkness and gloominess
, A day of cloud
and thick
darkness.
That
day
will
be
a day of wrath, a day of trouble
and distress, a day of destruction
and desolation, a day of darkness and gloom
, a day of clouds
and blackness,
A day of trumpet
and shouting
against the fenced
cities, And against the high corners
.
a day of horn
blast
and battle
cry
against the fortified
cities, and against the high corner
towers
.
And
I have
sent
distress to
men,
And
they have
walked
as
the blind, For
against
Jehovah
they have sinned ,
And
poured
out
is
their blood as
dust ,
And their flesh `is'
as
dung.
I will
bring
such
distress on
mankind
that
they will
walk
like
the blind, because
they have sinned against
the
LORD.
Their blood will
be
poured
out
like
dust and their flesh like
dung.
Even
their silver ,
even
their gold ,
Is
not
able to deliver them in
a
day of the wrath of
Jehovah,
And
in
the fire of His jealousy consumed
is
the
whole
land,
For only
a
hastened
end
doth
He make Of all the
inhabitants
of
the land!
Neither
their silver nor
their gold will
be
able to deliver them on
the
Day of the LORD’s
wrath .
The whole
earth
will
be
consumed
by
the
fire of His jealousy .”
For indeed,
He will
make a
sudden
end
of all who
dwell
on
the earth.
