1The wordH1697 of the LordH3068 whichH834 cameH1961 to ZephaniahH6846 sonH1121 of CushiH3570, sonH1121 of GedaliahH1436, sonH1121 of AmariahH568, sonH1121 of HezekiahH2396, in the daysH3117 of 1JosiahH2977 sonH1121 of 2AmonH526, kingH4428 of JudahH3063:

2“I will completelyH5486 3removeH5486 allH3605 things From the faceH6440 of the 4earthH127,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.3“I will removeH5486 5manH120 and beastH929; I will removeH5486 the 6birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 And the fishH1709 of the seaH3220, And the 78ruinsH4384 alongH854 with the wickedH7563; And I will cutH3772 offH3772 manH120 from the faceH6440 of the 9earthH127,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.4“So I will 10stretchH5186 out My handH3027 againstH5921 JudahH3063 And againstH5921 allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389. And I will 11cutH3772 offH3772 the remnantH7605 of BaalH1168 from thisH2088 placeH4725, And the namesH8034 of the 12idolatrousH3649 priestsH3649 alongH5973 with the priestsH3548.5And those who bowH7812 downH7812 on the 13housetopsH1406 to the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, And those who bowH7812 downH7812 and 14swearH7650 to the LordH3068 and yet swearH7650 by 1516MilcomH4445,6And those who have 17turnedH5472 backH5472 from followingH310 the LordH3068, And those whoH834 have 18not soughtH1245 the LordH3068 or inquiredH1875 of Him.”

71920Be silentH2013 beforeH4480H6440 the LordH136 21GodH3068! For the 22dayH3117 of the LordH3068 is nearH7138, For the LordH3068 has preparedH3559 a 23sacrificeH2077, He has 24consecratedH6942 His guestsH7121.8“Then it will comeH1961 about on the dayH3117 of the Lord’sH3068 sacrificeH2077 That I will 25punishH6485 the princesH8269, the king’sH4428 sonsH1121 And allH3605 who clotheH3847 themselves with 26foreignH5237 garmentsH4403.9And I will punishH6485 on that dayH3117 allH3605 who leapH1801 on the temple thresholdH4670, Who fillH4390 the houseH1004 of their 27lordH113 with 28violenceH2555 and deceitH4820.10On that dayH3117,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “There will be the soundH6963 of a cryH6818 from the 29FishH1709 GateH8179, A wailH3215 from the 3031SecondH4932 Quarter, And a loudH1419 crashH7667 from the 32hillsH1389.11WailH3213, O inhabitantsH3427 of the 33MortarH4389, For allH3605 the 34peopleH5971 of 35CanaanH3667 will be silencedH1820; AllH3605 who weighH5187 out 36silverH3701 will be cutH3772 offH3772.12It will comeH1961 about at that timeH6256 That I will 37searchH2664 JerusalemH3389 with lampsH5216, And I will punishH6485 the menH376 Who are 3839stagnantH7087 in spiritH8105, Who sayH559 in their heartsH3824, ‘The LordH3068 will 40not doH3190 goodH3190 or evilH7489!’13Moreover, their wealthH2428 will becomeH1961 41plunderH4933 And their housesH1004 desolateH8077; Yes, 42they will buildH1129 housesH1004 but not inhabitH3427 them, And plantH5193 vineyardsH3754 but not drinkH8354 their wineH3196.”
