Zephaniah 1:4-12

4"I will stretch out my hand against Judah and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off from this place the remnant of Baal and the name of the idolatrous priests along with the priests,

5those who bow down on the roofs to the host of the heavens, those who bow down and swear to the Lord and yet swear by Milcom,

6those who have turned back from following the Lord, who do not seek the Lord or inquire of him."

7Be silent before the Lord God! For the day of the Lord is near; the Lord has prepared a sacrifice and consecrated his guests.

8And on the day of the Lord's sacrifice— "I will punish the officials and the king's sons and all who array themselves in foreign attire.

9On that day I will punish everyone who leaps over the threshold, and those who fill their master's house with violence and fraud.

10"On that day," declares the Lord, "a cry will be heard from the Fish Gate, a wail from the Second Quarter, a loud crash from the hills.

11Wail, O inhabitants of the Mortar! For all the traders are no more; all who weigh out silver are cut off.

12At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and I will punish the men who are complacent, those who say in their hearts, 'The Lord will not do good, nor will he do ill.'
