that
hath

unto Zephaniah son of Cushi, son of Gedaliah, son of Amariah, son of Hezikiah

, king of Judah :
The
word of the
LORD
which
came
unto Zephaniah the
son of Cushi, the
son of Gedaliah, the
son of Amariah, the
son of Hizkiah
, in the days of Josiah the

I utterly consume all from off the face
of
the
ground
, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
I will
utterly consume all things
from off the land
, saith
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
consume man and beast ;
I will
consume the
fowls
of the heaven
, and the
fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks
with
the wicked :
and I will
cut off man from off
the land
, saith
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
also
stretch
out mine
hand upon
Judah, and upon
all the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem ;
and I
will
cut off the remnant of Baal from
this
place
, and
the name of the Chemarims
with the 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 ,
And them
that
worship
the host of heaven
upon
the housetops;
and them
that
worship
and
that
swear
by
the
LORD
, and that
swear
by Malcham ;
And those
removing
from after
Jehovah,
And who
have not sought Jehovah
, nor besought
Him.
And them
that
are
turned
back
from the
LORD;
and those
that
have not sought the
LORD
, nor enquired
for
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
.
Hold
thy
peace
at
the
presence
of the Lord GOD:
for the
day of the
LORD
is
at
hand:
for the
LORD
hath prepared
a sacrifice, he hath bid
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
.
And it shall
come to pass in the day of the LORD's
sacrifice, that I will
punish
the princes
, and the king's
children
, and all such
as
are
clothed
with
strange 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.
In
the
same
day
also
will
I punish
all
those
that
leap
on the threshold, which
fill
their masters' houses
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.
And it
shall
come
to
pass
in that day, saith
the
LORD
, that
there
shall
be
the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and an
howling from the second, and a
great 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.
Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh
, for all the merchant people are
cut down;
all they
that
bear
silver are
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 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.
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.
Therefore
their goods
shall
become
a booty
, and their houses a
desolation :
they shall
also
build
houses, but
not inhabit them;
and they shall
plant
vineyards, but
not drink the
wine thereof
.
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
, it
is
near, and hasteth
greatly
, even
the voice
of the day of the
LORD:
the
mighty man
shall
cry
there
bitterly
.
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
is
a day of wrath, a day of trouble
and distress, a day of wasteness
and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds
and thick darkness ,
A day of trumpet and shouting
against the fenced cities, And against the high corners
.
A day of the
trumpet and alarm
against the fenced cities, and against the high 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.
And I will
bring
distress upon
men, that
they shall
walk
like
blind men
, because
they have sinned against
the
LORD:
and their blood shall
be
poured
out
as dust, and their flesh as the
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 shall
be
able to deliver them in the
day of the LORD's
wrath ;
but
the whole
land
shall
be
devoured
by
the
fire of his jealousy :
for he shall
make even
a
speedy
riddance
of all them
that
dwell
in
the land .
