The word
of the LORD
which came unto Zephaniah
the son
of Cushi,
the son
of Gedaliah,
the son
of Amariah,
the son
of Hizkiah,
in the days
of Josiah
the son
of Amon,
king
of Judah.

I will utterly
consume
all things from off the land,
saith
the LORD.
I 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
the LORD.
I 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;
And them that worship
the host
of heaven
upon the housetops;
and them that worship
and that swear
by the LORD,
and that swear
by Malcham;
And them that are turned back
from
the LORD;
and those that have not sought
the LORD,
nor enquired
for him.
Hold 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 bid
his guests.
And it shall come to pass in the day
of the LORD'S
sacrifice,
that I will punish
the princes,
and the king's
children,
and all such as are clothed
with strange
apparel.
In the same day
also will I punish
all those that leap
on the threshold,
which fill
their masters'
houses
with violence
and deceit.

And it shall come to pass in that day,
saith

that there shall be the noise
of a cry
from the fish

and an howling
from the second,
and a great
crashing
from the hills.

ye inhabitants

for all the merchant

are cut down;
all they that bear

are cut off.
And it shall come to pass at that time,
that I will search
Jerusalem
with candles,
and punish
the men
that are settled
on their lees:
that say
in their heart,
The LORD
will not do good,
neither will he do evil.

Therefore their goods

but not inhabit

but not drink
the wine
thereof.

The great
day
of the LORD
is near,
it is near,
and hasteth
greatly,
even the voice
of the day
of the LORD:
the mighty man
shall cry
there bitterly.
That day
is a day
of wrath,
a day
of trouble
and distress,
a day
of wasteness
and desolation,
a day
of darkness
and gloominess,
a day
of clouds

A day

against the fenced
cities,
and against the high
towers.
And I will bring distress
upon men,
that they shall walk
like blind men,
because they have sinned
against the LORD:
and their blood
shall be poured out
as dust,
and their flesh
as the dung.

of his jealousy:
for he shall make
even a speedy
riddance
of all them that dwell
in the land.
