1THE WORD of the Lord which came to Zephaniah son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah king of Judah and son of Amon.H1697H3068H6846H1121H3570H1121H1436H1121H568H1121H2396H3117H2977H1121H526H4428H3063 2By taking away I will make an end {and} I will utterly consume {and} sweep away all things from the face of the earth, says the Lord.H622H5486H6440H127H5002H3068 3I will consume {and} sweep away man and beast; I will consume {and} sweep away the birds of the air and the fish of the sea. I will overthrow the stumbling blocks (the idols) with the wicked [worshipers], and I will cut off mankind from the face of the earth, says the Lord.H5486H120H929H5486H5775H8064H1709H3220H4384H7563H3772H120H6440H127H5002H3068 4I will also stretch out My hand over Judah and over all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place and the name of the idol priests with the [false] priests,H5186H3027H3063H3427H3389H3772H7605H1168H4725H8034H3649H3548 5And those who worship the starry host of the heavens upon their housetops and those who [pretend to] worship the Lord and swear by {and} to Him and yet swear by {and} to [the heathen god Molech or] Malcam [their idol king],H7812H6635H8064H1406H7812H7650H3068H7650H4428 6And those who have drawn back from following the Lord and those who have not sought the Lord nor inquired for, inquired of, {and} required the Lord [as their first necessity].H5472H310H3068H1245H3068H1875 7[Hush!] Be silent before the Lord God, for the day [of the vengeance] of the Lord is near; for the Lord has prepared a sacrifice, and He has set apart [for His use] those who have accepted His invitation.H2013H6440H136H3069H3117H3068H7138H3068H3559H2077H6942H7121 8And on the day of the Lord's sacrifice, I will punish the officials and the king's sons and all who are clothed in [lavish] foreign apparel [instead of the Jewish dress, with its reminders to obey God's commandments].H3117H3068H2077H6485H8269H4428H1121H3847H5237H4403 9In the same day also will I punish all those who leap swiftly on {or} over the threshold [upon entering houses to steal], who fill their master's house with violence and deceit {and} fraud.H3117H6485H1801H4670H4390H113H1004H2555H4820 10And in that day, says the Lord, there shall be heard the voice of crying from the Fish Gate [in the wall of Jerusalem] and a wailing from the Second Quarter {or} Lower City and a great crashing {and} sound of destruction from the hills.H3117H5002H3068H6963H6818H1709H8179H3215H4932H1419H7667H1389 11Wail, you inhabitants of the Mortar [those located in the hollow part of the city]! For all the merchant people, like the people of Canaan, will be silent [entirely destroyed]; all those who weighed out silver {and} were loaded with it will be cut off.H3213H3427H4389H3667H5971H1820H5187H3701H3772 12And at that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps and punish the men who [like old wine] are thickening {and} settling on their lees, who say in their hearts, The Lord will not do good, nor will He do evil.H6256H2664H3389H5216H6485H582H7087H8105H559H3824H3068H3190H7489 13And their wealth shall become plunder and their houses a desolation. Though they build houses, they shall not inhabit them; though they plant vineyards, they shall not drink the wine from them.H2428H4933H1004H8077H1129H1004H3427H5193H3754H8354H3196 14The great day of the Lord is near--near and hastening fast. Hark! the voice of the day of the Lord! The mighty man [unable to fight or to flee] will cry then bitterly.H1419H3117H3068H7138H7138H4118H3966H6963H3117H3068H1368H6873H4751 15That day is a day of wrath, a day of distress and anguish, a day of ruin and devastation, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness,H3117H3117H5678H3117H6869H4691H3117H7722H4875H3117H2822H653H3117H6051H6205 16A day of the blast of trumpet and battle cry against the fortified cities and against the high towers {and} battlements.H3117H7782H8643H1219H5892H1364H6438 17And I will bring distress upon men, so that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the Lord; their blood shall be poured out like dust and their flesh like dung.H6887H120H1980H5787H2398H3068H1818H8210H6083H3894H1561 18Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the Lord's indignation {and} wrath. But the whole earth shall be consumed in the fire of His jealous wrath, for a full, yes, a sudden, end will He make of all the inhabitants of the earth.H3701H2091H3201H5337H3117H3068H5678H776H398H784H7068H6213H926H3617H3427H776
