Revised Literal Translation
Zephaniah 1:2-9
2I will utterly consume all things from off the land, saith Yhwh.12
3I will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks with the wicked; and I will cut off man from off the land, saith Yhwh.3
4I will also stretch out mine hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, and the name of the Chemarims with the priests;
5And them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship and that swear by Yhwh, and that swear by Malcham;4
6And them that are turned back from Yhwh; and those that have not sought Yhwh, nor enquired for him.
7Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord Yhwh: for the day of Yhwh is at hand: for Yhwh hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests.5
8And it shall come to pass in the day of Yhwh's sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king’s children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel.6
9In the same day also will I punish all those that leap on the threshold, which fill their masters’ houses with violence and deceit.
