Zephaniah 1:2-9

2I will utterly consume all things from off the faceH6440 of the groundH127, saith Jehovah. 3I will consume manH120 and beast; I will consume the birdsH5775 of the heavensH8064, and the fishes of the seaH3220, and the stumblingblocks with the wickedH7563; and I will cutH3772 off manH120 from off the faceH6440 of the groundH127, saith Jehovah. 4And I will stretchH5186 out my handH3027 upon JudahH3063, and upon all the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389; and I will cutH3772 off the remnantH7605 of BaalH1168 from this placeH4725, and the nameH8034 of the Chemarim with the priestsH3548; 5and them that worship the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 upon the housetops; and them that worship, that swearH7650 to Jehovah and swearH7650 by Malcam; 6and them that are turnedH5472 back from following Jehovah; and those that have not soughtH1245 Jehovah, nor inquired after him.

7Hold thy peace at the presenceH6440 of the Lord Jehovah; for the dayH3117 of Jehovah is at hand: for Jehovah hath preparedH3559 a sacrificeH2077, he hath consecratedH6942 his guests. 8And it shall come to pass in the dayH3117 of Jehovah’s sacrificeH2077, that I will punishH6485 the princesH8269, and the king’sH4428 sonsH1121, and all such as are clothedH3847 with foreignH5237 apparel. 9And in that dayH3117 I will punishH6485 all those that leapH1801 over the thresholdH4670, that fillH4390 their master’sH113 houseH1004 with violenceH2555 and deceitH4820.
