Revised Version 1895

Zephaniah 1:2-9

2I will utterly consume all things from off the face of the ground, saith the LORD.

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 face of the ground, saith the LORD.

4And I will 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 Chemarim with the priests;

5and them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship, which swear to the LORD and swear by Malcam;

6and them that are turned back from following the LORD; and those that have not sought the LORD, nor inquired after him.

7Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD: for the day of the LORD is at hand: for the LORD hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath sanctified his guests.

8And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD’S sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king’s sons, and all such as are clothed with foreign apparel.

9And in that day I will punish all those that leap over the threshold, which fill their master’s house with violence and deceit.
