1:1 The
worde
of
the
Lord
which
came
vnto
Zephaniah
the
son
of
Cushi,
the
son
of
Gedaliah,
the
sonne
of
Amariah,
the
sonne
of
Hizkiah,
in
the
dayes
of
Iosiah,
the
sonne
of
Amon
king
of
Iudah.
1:2 I
will
vtterly
consume
all
things
from
off
the
land,
saith
the
Lord.
1:3 I
will
consume
man
and
beast:
I
will
consume
the
foules
of
the
heauen
and
the
fishes
of
the
sea,
and
the
stumbling
blocks
with
the
wicked,
and
I
will
cut
off
man
from
off
the
land,
saith
the
Lord.
1:4 I
will
also
stretch
out
mine
hand
vpon
Iudah,
and
vpon
all
the
inhabitants
of
Ierusalem,
and
I
will
cut
off
the
remnant
of
Baal
from
this
place,
and
the
name
of
the
Chemarims
with
the
priests:
1:5 And
them
that
worship
the
hoste
of
heauen
vpon
the
house
tops,
&
them
that
worship,
and
that
sweare
by
the
Lord,
and
that
sweare
by
Malcham:
1:6 And
them
that
are
turned
backe
from
the
Lord,
&
those
that
haue
not
sought
ye
Lord,
nor
enquired
for
him.
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
ghests.
1:8 And
it
shall
come
to
passe
in
the
day
of
the
Lords
Sacrifice,
that
I
will
punish
the
princes,
and
the
kings
children,
and
al
such
as
are
clothed
with
strange
apparell.
1:9 In
the
same
day
also
wil
I
punish
all
those
that
leape
on
the
threshold,
which
fill
their
masters
houses
with
violence
and
deceit.
1:10 And
it
shall
come
to
passe
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
hils.
1:11 Howle
yee
inhabitants
of
Maktesh,
for
all
the
merchant
people
are
cut
downe:
all
they
that
beare
siluer
are
cut
off.
1:12 And
it
shall
come
to
passe
at
that
time,
that
I
wil
search
Ierusalem
with
candles,
and
punish
the
men
that
are
setled
on
their
lees,
that
say
in
their
heart,
The
Lord
will
not
doe
good,
neither
will
he
doe
euill.
1:13 Therefore
their
goods
shall
become
a
booty,
and
their
houses
a
desolation:
they
shall
also
build
houses,
but
not
inhabite
them,
and
they
shall
plant
Uineyards,
but
not
drinke
the
wine
thereof.
1:14 The
great
day
of
the
Lord
is
neere,
it
is
neere,
and
hasteth
greatly,
euen
the
voice
of
the
day
of
the
Lord:
the
mighty
man
shall
cry
there
bitterly.
1:15 That
day
is
a
day
of
wrath,
a
day
of
trouble
and
distresse,
a
day
of
wastenesse
and
desolation,
a
day
of
darknesse
and
gloominesse,
a
day
of
cloudes
and
thicke
darkenesse;
1:16 A
day
of
the
trumpet
and
alarme
against
the
fenced
cities,
and
against
the
high
towres.
1:17 And
I
will
bring
distresse
vpon
men,
that
they
shall
walke
like
blinde
men,
because
they
haue
sinned
against
the
Lord,
and
their
blood
shall
bee
powred
out
as
dust,
and
their
flesh
as
the
doung.
1:18 Neither
their
siluer
nor
their
golde
shall
be
able
to
deliuer
them
in
the
day
of
the
Lords
wrath;
but
the
whole
land
shall
bee
deuoured
by
the
fire
of
his
iealousie:
for
hee
shall
make
euen
a
speedy
riddance
of
all
them
that
dwell
in
the
land.
