Zephaniah 1:4-13

4“So I will 1stretch out My hand against Judah And against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And I will 2cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, And the names of the 3idolatrous priests along with the priests.5And those who bow down on the 4housetops to the host of heaven, And those who bow down and 5swear to the Lord and yet swear by 67Milcom,6And those who have 8turned back from following the Lord, And those who have 9not sought the Lord or inquired of Him.”

71011Be silent before the Lord 12God! For the 13day of the Lord is near, For the Lord has prepared a 14sacrifice, He has 15consecrated His guests.8“Then it will come about on the day of the Lord’s sacrifice That I will 16punish the princes, the king’s sons And all who clothe themselves with 17foreign garments.9And I will punish on that day all who leap on the temple threshold, Who fill the house of their 18lord with 19violence and deceit.10On that day,” declares the Lord, “There will be the sound of a cry from the 20Fish Gate, A wail from the 2122Second Quarter, And a loud crash from the 23hills.11Wail, O inhabitants of the 24Mortar, For all the 25people of 26Canaan will be silenced; All who weigh out 27silver will be cut off.12It will come about at that time That I will 28search Jerusalem with lamps, And I will punish the men Who are 2930stagnant in spirit, Who say in their hearts, ‘The Lord will 31not do good or evil!’13Moreover, their wealth will become 32plunder And their houses desolate; Yes, 33they will build houses but not inhabit them, And plant vineyards but not drink their wine.”
