Book 36 Zephaniah Chapter 001

 

001:001The 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 son of Amon, king of Judah.

 

001:002I will utterly consume all things from off the land, saith the
LORD.

 

001:003I 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.

 

001:004I 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;

 

001:005And 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;

 

001:006And them that are turned back from the LORD; and those that
have not sought the LORD, nor enquired for him.

 

001:007Hold 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.

 

001:008And 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.

 

001:009In the same day also will I punish all those that leap on the
threshold, which fill their masters' houses with violence and
deceit.

 

001:010And 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.

 

001:011Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant people
are cut down; all they that bear silver are cut off.

 

001:012And 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.

 

001:013Therefore 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.

 

001:014The 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.

 

001:015That 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,

 

001:016A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and
against the high towers.

 

001:017And 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.

 

001:018Neither 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.
