Zephaniah 3:1-8

1WoeH1945 to her that is rebellious and polluted! to the oppressingH3238 cityH5892! 2She obeyed not the voiceH6963; she receivedH3947 not correctionH4148; she trustedH982 not in Jehovah; she drewH7126 not near to her GodH430. 3Her princesH8269 in the midstH7130 of her are roaringH7580 lionsH738; her judgesH8199 are eveningH6153 wolvesH2061; they leave nothing till the morrow. 4Her prophetsH5030 are light and treacherous personsH376; her priestsH3548 have profanedH2490 the sanctuaryH6944, they have done violenceH2554 to the lawH8451. 5Jehovah in the midstH7130 of her is righteousH6662; he will not do iniquity; every morningH1242 doth he bring his justiceH4941 to lightH216, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shameH1322. 6I have cutH3772 off nationsH1471; their battlements are desolateH8074; I have madeH3772 their streetsH2351 waste, so that none passeth by; their citiesH5892 are destroyed, so that there is no manH376, so that there is no inhabitantH3427. 7I saidH559, OnlyH389 fearH3372 thou me; receiveH3947 correctionH4148; so her dwelling shall not be cutH3772 off, according to all that I have appointedH6485 concerning her: but they roseH7925 earlyH7925 and corruptedH7843 all their doings.

8ThereforeH3651 waitH2442 ye for me, saith Jehovah, until the dayH3117 that I riseH6965 up to the prey; for my determination is to gatherH6908 the nationsH1471, that I may assemble the kingdomsH4467, to pourH8210 upon them mine indignationH2195, even all my fierce angerH639; for all the earthH776 shall be devouredH398 with the fireH784 of my jealousyH7068.
