Zephaniah 1:4-12

4And I will stretchH5186 forth my handH3027 upon JudahH3063, and upon all the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389; and I will cutH3772 off the remnantH7605 of BaalH1168 from this placeH4725, the nameH8034 of the Chemarim with the priestsH3548;

5and them that bowH7812 downH7812 to the hostH6635 of the heavensH8064 upon the housetops; and them that bowH7812 downH7812 to Jehovah, that swearH7650 by [him], and swearH7650 by Malcham;

6and them that turnH5472 back from after Jehovah, and that do not seekH1245 Jehovah, nor inquire for him.

7Be silent at the presenceH6440 of the Lord Jehovah; for the dayH3117 of Jehovah is at hand; for Jehovah hath preparedH3559 a sacrificeH2077, he hath hallowed his guests.

8And it shall come to pass in the dayH3117 of Jehovah's sacrificeH2077, that I will punishH6485 the princesH8269, and the king's sonsH1121, and all such as are clothedH3847 with foreignH5237 apparel.

9And in that dayH3117 will I punishH6485 all those that leapH1801 over the thresholdH4670, who fillH4390 their master's houseH1004 with violenceH2555 and deceitH4820.

10And in that dayH3117, saith Jehovah, there shall beH1961 the noise of a cryH6818 from the fish-gate, and a howling from the secondH4932 [quarter], and a greatH1419 crashing from the hillsH1389.

11Howl, ye inhabitantsH3427 of Maktesh; for all the peopleH5971 of CanaanH3667 are cutH3772 down, all they that are laden with silverH3701 are cutH3772 off.

12And it shall come to pass at that timeH6256, [that] I will searchH2664 JerusalemH3389 with lampsH5216, and punishH6485 the menH376 that are settled on their lees, that sayH559 in their heartH3824, Jehovah will not do goodH3190, neither will he do evilH7489.
