Zephaniah 1:2-9
2I will utterlyH622 consumeH5486 all things from off the landH127H6440, saithH5002 YhwhH3068.12
3I will consumeH5486 manH120 and beastH929; I will consumeH5486 the fowlsH5775 of the heavenH8064, and the fishesH1709 of the seaH3220, and the stumblingblocksH4384 with the wickedH7563; and I will cut offH3772 manH120 from offH6440 the landH127, saithH5002 YhwhH3068.3
4I will also stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon JudahH3063, and upon all the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389; and I will cut offH3772 the remnantH7605 of BaalH1168 from this placeH4725, and the nameH8034 of the ChemarimsH3649 with the priestsH3548;
5And them that worshipH7812 the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 upon the housetopsH1406; and them that worshipH7812 and that swearH7650 by YhwhH3068, and that swearH7650 by MalchamH4428;4
6And them that are turned backH5472 fromH310 YhwhH3068; and those that have not soughtH1245 YhwhH3068, nor enquiredH1875 for him.
7Hold thy peaceH2013 at the presenceH6440 of the LordH136 YhwhH3069: for the dayH3117 of YhwhH3068 is at handH7138: for YhwhH3068 hath preparedH3559 a sacrificeH2077, he hath bidH6942 his guestsH7121.5
8And it shall come to pass in the dayH3117 of Yhwh'sH3068 sacrificeH2077, that I will punishH6485 the princesH8269, and the king’sH4428 childrenH1121, and all such as are clothedH3847 with strangeH5237 apparelH4403.6
9In the same dayH3117 also will I punishH6485 all those that leapH1801 on the thresholdH4670, which fillH4390 their masters’H113 housesH1004 with violenceH2555 and deceitH4820.
