ZEP-1:1 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.

ZEP-1:2 I will utterly consume all [things] from off the land,

saith the

LORD.

ZEP-1:3 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.

ZEP-1:4 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;

ZEP-1:5 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;

ZEP-1:6 And them that are turned back from the LORD; and

[those] that have

not sought the LORD, nor inquired for him.

ZEP-1:7 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.

ZEP-1:8 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.

ZEP-1:9 In the same day also will I punish all those that leap

on the

threshold, which fill their masters' houses with violence and

deceit.

ZEP-1:10 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD,

[that there

shall be] the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and an howling

from the

second, and a great crashing from the hills.

ZEP-1:11 Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant

people are cut

down; all they that bear silver are cut off.

ZEP-1:12 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.

ZEP-1:13 Therefore their goods shall become a booty, and their

houses a

desolation: they shall also build houses, but not inhabit [them];

and they

shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof.

ZEP-1:14 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.

ZEP-1:15 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

and thick darkness,

ZEP-1:16 A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced

cities, and

against the high towers.

ZEP-1:17 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.

ZEP-1:18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to

deliver them in

the day of the LORD'S wrath; but the whole land shall be

devoured by the fire

of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all

them that

dwell in the land.

ZEP-2:1 Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O

nation not

desired;

ZEP-2:2 Before the decree bring forth, [before] the day pass as

the chaff,

before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the

day of the

LORD'S anger come upon you.

ZEP-2:3 Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have

wrought his

judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall

be hid in the

day of the LORD'S anger.

ZEP-2:4 For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation:

they shall

drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up.

ZEP-2:5 Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation

of the

Cherethites! the word of the LORD [is] against you; O Canaan,

the land of the

Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no

inhabitant.

ZEP-2:6 And the sea coast shall be dwellings [and] cottages for

shepherds,

and folds for flocks.

ZEP-2:7 And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of

Judah; they

shall feed thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie

down in the

evening: for the LORD their God shall visit them, and turn away

their

captivity.

ZEP-2:8 I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of

the children

of Ammon, whereby they have reproached my people, and magnified

[themselves]

against their border.

ZEP-2:9 Therefore [as] I live, saith the LORD of hosts, the God

of Israel,

Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as

Gomorrah, [even]

the breeding of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual

desolation: the residue

of my people shall spoil them, and the remnant of my people

shall possess

them.

ZEP-2:10 This shall they have for their pride, because they

have reproached

and magnified [themselves] against the people of the LORD of

hosts.

ZEP-2:11 The LORD [will be] terrible unto them: for he will

famish all the

gods of the earth; and [men] shall worship him, every one from

his place,

[even] all the isles of the heathen.

ZEP-2:12 Ye Ethiopians also, ye [shall be] slain by my sword.

ZEP-2:13 And he will stretch out his hand against the north,

and destroy

Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, [and] dry like a

wilderness.

ZEP-2:14 And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the

beasts of the

nations: both the cormorant and the bittern shall lodge in the

upper lintels

of it; [their] voice shall sing in the windows; desolation

[shall be] in the

thresholds: for he shall uncover the cedar work.

ZEP-2:15 This [is] the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly,

that said in her

heart, I [am], and [there is] none beside me: how is she become

a desolation,

a place for beasts to lie down in! every one that passeth by her

shall hiss,

[and] wag his hand.

ZEP-3:1 Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the

oppressing city!

ZEP-3:2 She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction;

she trusted

not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God.

ZEP-3:3 Her princes within her [are] roaring lions; her judges

[are] evening

wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.

ZEP-3:4 Her prophets [are] light [and] treacherous persons: her

priests have

polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.

ZEP-3:5 The just LORD [is] in the midst thereof; he will not do

iniquity:

every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth

not; but the

unjust knoweth no shame.

ZEP-3:6 I have cut off the nations: their towers are desolate;

I made their

streets waste, that none passeth by: their cities are destroyed,

so that there

is no man, that there is none inhabitant.

ZEP-3:7 I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive

instruction; so

their dwelling should not be cut off, howsoever I punished them:

but they rose

early, [and] corrupted all their doings.

ZEP-3:8 Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the

day that I rise

up to the prey: for my determination [is] to gather the nations,

that I may

assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation,

[even] all my

fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire

of my

jealousy.

ZEP-3:9 For then will I turn to the people a pure language,

that they may all

call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent.

ZEP-3:10 From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants,

[even] the

daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering.

ZEP-3:11 In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy

doings, wherein

thou hast transgressed against me: for then I will take away out

of the midst

of thee them that rejoice in thy pride, and thou shalt no more

be haughty

because of my holy mountain.

ZEP-3:12 I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted

and poor people,

and they shall trust in the name of the LORD.

ZEP-3:13 The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak

lies; neither

shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall

feed and lie

down, and none shall make [them] afraid.

ZEP-3:14 Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and

rejoice with

all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.

ZEP-3:15 The LORD hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast

out thine

enemy: the king of Israel, [even] the LORD, [is] in the midst of

thee: thou

shalt not see evil any more.

ZEP-3:16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou

not: [and to]

Zion, Let not thine hands be slack.

ZEP-3:17 The LORD thy God in the midst of thee [is] mighty; he

will save, he

will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he

will joy over

thee with singing.

ZEP-3:18 I will gather [them that are] sorrowful for the solemn

assembly,

[who] are of thee, [to whom] the reproach of it [was] a burden.

ZEP-3:19 Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee:

and I will

save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I

will get them

praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame.

ZEP-3:20 At that time will I bring you [again], even in the

time that I

gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all

people of the

earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith

the LORD.
