1:1 The
word
of
Jehovah
which
came
unto
Zephaniah
the
son
of
Cushi,
the
son
of
Gedaliah,
the
son
of
Amariah,
the
son
of
Hezekiah,
in
the
days
of
Josiah
the
son
of
Amon,
king
of
Judah.
1:2 I
will
utterly
consume
all
things
from
off
the
face
of
the
ground,
saith
Jehovah.
1:3 I
will
consume
man
and
beast;
I
will
consume
the
birds
of
the
heavens,
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
Jehovah.
1:4 And
I
will
stretch
out
my
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;
1:5 and
them
that
worship
the
host
of
heaven
upon
the
housetops;
and
them
that
worship,
that
swear
to
Jehovah
and
swear
by
Malcam;
1:6 and
them
that
are
turned
back
from
following
Jehovah;
and
those
that
have
not
sought
Jehovah,
nor
inquired
after
him.
1:7 Hold
thy
peace
at
the
presence
of
the
Lord
Jehovah;
for
the
day
of
Jehovah
is
at
hand:
for
Jehovah
hath
prepared
a
sacrifice,
he
hath
consecrated
his
guests.
1:8 And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
the
day
of
Jehovah's
sacrifice,
that
I
will
punish
the
princes,
and
the
king's
sons,
and
all
such
as
are
clothed
with
foreign
apparel.
1:9 And
in
that
day
I
will
punish
all
those
that
leap
over
the
threshold,
that
fill
their
master's
house
with
violence
and
deceit.
1:10 And
in
that
day,
saith
Jehovah,
there
shall
be
the
noise
of
a
cry
from
the
fish
gate,
and
a
wailing
from
the
second
quarter,
and
a
great
crashing
from
the
hills.
1:11 Wail,
ye
inhabitants
of
Maktesh;
for
all
the
people
of
Canaan
are
undone;
all
they
that
were
laden
with
silver
are
cut
off.
1:12 And
it
shall
come
to
pass
at
that
time,
that
I
will
search
Jerusalem
with
lamps;
and
I
will
punish
the
men
that
are
settled
on
their
lees,
that
say
in
their
heart,
Jehovah
will
not
do
good,
neither
will
he
do
evil.
1:13 And
their
wealth
shall
become
a
spoil,
and
their
houses
a
desolation:
yea,
they
shall
build
houses,
but
shall
not
inhabit
them;
and
they
shall
plant
vineyards,
but
shall
not
drink
the
wine
thereof.
1:14 The
great
day
of
Jehovah
is
near,
it
is
near
and
hasteth
greatly,
[even]
the
voice
of
the
day
of
Jehovah;
the
mighty
man
crieth
there
bitterly.
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,
1:16 a
day
of
the
trumpet
and
alarm,
against
the
fortified
cities,
and
against
the
high
battlements.
1:17 And
I
will
bring
distress
upon
men,
that
they
shall
walk
like
blind
men,
because
they
have
sinned
against
Jehovah;
and
their
blood
shall
be
poured
out
as
dust,
and
their
flesh
as
dung.
1:18 Neither
their
silver
nor
their
gold
shall
be
able
to
deliver
them
in
the
day
of
Jehovah's
wrath;
but
the
whole
land
shall
be
devoured
by
the
fire
of
his
jealousy:
for
he
will
make
an
end,
yea,
a
terrible
end,
of
all
them
that
dwell
in
the
land.
