Zephaniah 1:7-13

7Hold thy peace at the presenceH6440 of the LordH3068 GODH3068: for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is at handH7138: for the LORDH3068 hath preparedH3559 a sacrificeH2077, he hath sanctifiedH6942 his guestsH7121.

8And it shall comeH1961 to passH1961 in the dayH3117 of the LORD’SH3068 sacrificeH2077, that I will punishH6485 the princesH8269, and the king’sH4428 sonsH1121, and allH3605 suchH3605 as are clothedH3847 with foreignH5237 apparelH3847.

9And in that dayH3117 I will punishH6485 allH3605 thoseH3605 that leapH1801 over the thresholdH4670, whichH1931 fillH4390 their master’sH113 houseH1004 with violenceH2555 and deceitH4820.

10And in that dayH3117, saith the LORDH3068, there shall be the noiseH6963 of a cryH6818 from the fishH1709 gateH8179, and an howling from the secondH4932 quarter, and a greatH1419 crashingH7667 from the hillsH1389.

11HowlH3213, ye inhabitantsH3427 of Maktesh, for allH3605 the peopleH5971 of CanaanH3667 are undone: allH3605 they that were laden with sliver are cutH3772 offH3772.

12And it shall comeH1961 to passH1961 at that time, that I will searchH2664 JerusalemH3389 with candles; and I will punishH6485 the menH376 that are settled on their lees, that sayH559 in their heartH3824, The LORDH3068 will notH3808 doH3190 goodH3190, neitherH3808 will he doH3190 evilH7489.

13And their wealthH2428 shall becomeH1961 a spoilH4933, and their housesH1004 a desolationH8077: yea, they shall buildH1129 housesH1004, but shall notH3808 inhabitH3427 them; and they shall plantH5193 vineyardsH3754, but shall notH3808 drinkH8354 the wineH3196 thereof.
