Zephaniah 1:4-12

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. 10And in that dayH3117, saith Jehovah, there shall beH1961 the noise of a cryH6818 from the fishH1709 gateH8179, and a wailingH3215 from the secondH4932 quarter, and a greatH1419 crashing from the hillsH1389. 11WailH3213, ye inhabitantsH3427 of Maktesh; for all the peopleH5971 of CanaanH3667 are undone; all they that were laden with silverH3701 are cutH3772 off. 12And it shall come to pass at that timeH6256, that I will searchH2664 JerusalemH3389 with lampsH5216; and I will punishH6485 the menH376 that are settled on their lees, that sayH559 in their heartH3824, Jehovah will not do goodH3190, neither will he do evilH7489.
