Zephaniah 3:1-8

1WoeH1945 to her that is rebellious and polluted, to the oppressingH3238 cityH5892!

2SheH3808 obeyedH8085 notH3808 the voiceH6963; sheH3808 receivedH3947 notH3808 correctionH4148; sheH3808 trustedH982 notH3808 in the LORDH3068; sheH3808 drewH7126 notH3808 nearH7126 to herH413 GodH430.

3HerH7130 princesH8269 in the midstH7130 of herH7130 are roaringH7580 lionsH738; herH7130 judgesH8199 are eveningH6153 wolvesH2061; they leave nothingH3808 till the morrow.

4HerH376 prophetsH5030 are light and treacherousH900 personsH376: herH376 priestsH3548 have profanedH2490 the sanctuaryH6944, they have doneH2554 violenceH2554 to the lawH8451.

5The LORDH3068 in the midstH7130 of herH5414 is righteousH6662; he will notH3808 doH6213 iniquityH5766; everyH1242 morningH1242 doth he bringH5414 his judgmentH4941 to lightH216, he faileth notH3808; but the unjustH5766 knoweth noH3808 shameH1322.

6I have cutH3772 offH3772 nationsH1471, their battlements are desolateH8074; I have madeH3772 their streetsH2351 wasteH8074, that noneH369 passeth by: their citiesH5892 are destroyedH3772, soH5674 that there is noH369 manH376, that there is noneH369 inhabitantH3427.

7I saidH559, SurelyH389 thou wilt fearH3372 meH5921, thou wilt receiveH3947 correctionH4148; soH3947 herH3605 dwellingH4585 should notH3808 be cutH3772 offH3772, accordingH5921 to allH3605 that I have appointedH6485 concerning herH3605: but they roseH7925 earlyH7925 and corruptedH7843 allH3605 their doings.

8Therefore waitH2442 ye for meH5921, saith the LORDH3068, untilH5921 the dayH3117 that I riseH6965 upH6965 to the preyH5706: for my determination is to gatherH6908 the nationsH1471, that I may assembleH622 the kingdomsH4467, to pourH8210 uponH5921 them mine indignationH2195, evenH3588 allH3605 my fierceH2740 angerH639; for allH3605 the earthH776 shall be devouredH398 with the fireH784 of my jealousyH7068.
