Zephaniah 1:1--2:15

The word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
which came unto Zephaniah
<06846>
the son
<01121>
of Cushi
<03570>_,
the son
<01121>
of Gedaliah
<01436>_,
the son
<01121>
of Amariah
<0568>_,
the son
<01121>
of Hizkiah
<02396>_,
in the days
<03117>
of Josiah
<02977>
the son
<01121>
of Amon
<0526>_,
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_.
I will utterly
<0622> (8800)
consume
<05486> (8686)
all [things] from off the land
<06440> <0127>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
{I will...; Heb. By taking away I will make an end} {the land: Heb. the face of the land}
I will consume
<05486> (8686)
man
<0120>
and beast
<0929>_;
I will consume
<05486> (8686)
the fowls
<05775>
of the heaven
<08064>_,
and the fishes
<01709>
of the sea
<03220>_,
and the stumblingblocks
<04384>
with the wicked
<07563>_;
and I will cut off
<03772> (8689)
man
<0120>
from off
<06440>
the land
<0127>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
{stumblingblocks: or, idols}
I will also stretch out
<05186> (8804)
mine hand
<03027>
upon Judah
<03063>_,
and upon all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>_;
and I will cut off
<03772> (8689)
the remnant
<07605>
of Baal
<01168>
from this place
<04725>_,
[and] the name
<08034>
of the Chemarims
<03649>
with the priests
<03548>_;
And them that worship
<07812> (8693)
the host
<06635>
of heaven
<08064>
upon the housetops
<01406>_;
and them that worship
<07812> (8693)
[and] that swear
<07650> (8737)
by the LORD
<03068>_,
and that swear
<07650> (8737)
by Malcham
<04428>_;
{by the...: or, to the LORD}
And them that are turned back
<05472> (8737)
from
<0310>
the LORD
<03068>_;
and [those] that have not sought
<01245> (8765)
the LORD
<03068>_,
nor enquired
<01875> (8804)
for him.
Hold thy peace
<02013> (8761)
at the presence
<06440>
of the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_:
for the day
<03117>
of the LORD
<03068>
[is] at hand
<07138>_:
for the LORD
<03068>
hath prepared
<03559> (8689)
a sacrifice
<02077>_,
he hath bid
<06942> (8689)
his guests
<07121> (8803)_.
{bid: Heb. sanctified, or, prepared}
And it shall come to pass in the day
<03117>
of the LORD'S
<03068>
sacrifice
<02077>_,
that I will punish
<06485> (8804)
the princes
<08269>_,
and the king's
<04428>
children
<01121>_,
and all such as are clothed
<03847> (8802)
with strange
<05237>
apparel
<04403>_.
{punish: Heb. visit upon}
In the same day
<03117>
also will I punish
<06485> (8804)
all those that leap
<01801> (8802)
on the threshold
<04670>_,
which fill
<04390> (8764)
their masters
<0113>_'
houses
<01004>
with violence
<02555>
and deceit
<04820>_.
And it shall come to pass in that day
<03117>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
[that there shall be] the noise
<06963>
of a cry
<06818>
from the fish
<01709>
gate
<08179>_,
and an howling
<03215>
from the second
<04932>_,
and a great
<01419>
crashing
<07667>
from the hills
<01389>_.
Howl
<03213> (8685)_,
ye inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Maktesh
<04389>_,
for all the merchant
<03667>
people
<05971>
are cut down
<01820> (8738)_;
all they that bear
<05187>
silver
<03701>
are cut off
<03772> (8738)_.
And it shall come to pass at that time
<06256>_,
[that] I will search
<02664> (8762)
Jerusalem
<03389>
with candles
<05216>_,
and punish
<06485> (8804)
the men
<0582>
that are settled
<07087> (8802)
on their lees
<08105>_:
that say
<0559> (8802)
in their heart
<03824>_,
The LORD
<03068>
will not do good
<03190> (8686)_,
neither will he do evil
<07489> (8686)_.
{settled: Heb. curded, or, thickened}
Therefore their goods
<02428>
shall become a booty
<04933>_,
and their houses
<01004>
a desolation
<08077>_:
they shall also build
<01129> (8804)
houses
<01004>_,
but not inhabit
<03427> (8799)
[them]; and they shall plant
<05193> (8804)
vineyards
<03754>_,
but not drink
<08354> (8799)
the wine
<03196>
thereof.
The great
<01419>
day
<03117>
of the LORD
<03068>
[is] near
<07138>_,
[it is] near
<07138>_,
and hasteth
<04118>
greatly
<03966>_,
[even] the voice
<06963>
of the day
<03117>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
the mighty man
<01368>
shall cry
<06873> (8802)
there bitterly
<04751>_.
That day
<03117>
[is] a day
<03117>
of wrath
<05678>_,
a day
<03117>
of trouble
<06869>
and distress
<04691>_,
a day
<03117>
of wasteness
<07722>
and desolation
<04875>_,
a day
<03117>
of darkness
<02822>
and gloominess
<0653>_,
a day
<03117>
of clouds
<06051>
and thick darkness
<06205>_,
A day
<03117>
of the trumpet
<07782>
and alarm
<08643>
against the fenced
<01219> (8803)
cities
<05892>_,
and against the high
<01364>
towers
<06438>_.
And I will bring distress
<06887> (8689)
upon men
<0120>_,
that they shall walk
<01980> (8804)
like blind men
<05787>_,
because they have sinned
<02398> (8804)
against the LORD
<03068>_:
and their blood
<01818>
shall be poured out
<08210> (8795)
as dust
<06083>_,
and their flesh
<03894>
as the dung
<01561>_.
Neither their silver
<03701>
nor their gold
<02091>
shall be able
<03201> (8799)
to deliver
<05337> (8687)
them in the day
<03117>
of the LORD'S
<03068>
wrath
<05678>_;
but the whole land
<0776>
shall be devoured
<0398> (8735)
by the fire
<0784>
of his jealousy
<07068>_:
for he shall make
<06213> (8799)
even a speedy
<0926> (8737)
riddance
<03617>
of all them that dwell
<03427> (8802)
in the land
<0776>_.
Gather yourselves together
<07197> (8703)_,
yea, gather together
<07197> (8798)_,
O nation
<01471>
not desired
<03700> (8737)_;
{not...: or, not desirous}
Before the decree
<02706>
bring forth
<03205> (8800)_,
[before] the day
<03117>
pass
<05674> (8804)
as the chaff
<04671>_,
before
<03808>
the fierce
<02740>
anger
<0639>
of the LORD
<03068>
come
<0935> (8799)
upon you, before the day
<03117>
of the LORD'S
<03068>
anger
<0639>
come
<0935> (8799)
upon you.
Seek
<01245> (8761)
ye the LORD
<03068>_,
all ye meek
<06035>
of the earth
<0776>_,
which have wrought
<06466> (8804)
his judgment
<04941>_;
seek
<01245> (8761)
righteousness
<06664>_,
seek
<01245> (8761)
meekness
<06038>_:
it may be
<0194>
ye shall be hid
<05641> (8735)
in the day
<03117>
of the LORD'S
<03068>
anger
<0639>_.
For Gaza
<05804>
shall be forsaken
<05800> (8803)_,
and Ashkelon
<0831>
a desolation
<08077>_:
they shall drive out
<01644> (8762)
Ashdod
<0795>
at the noon day
<06672>_,
and Ekron
<06138>
shall be rooted up
<06131> (8735)_.
Woe
<01945>
unto the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the sea
<03220>
coast
<02256>_,
the nation
<01471>
of the Cherethites
<03774>_!
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
[is] against you; O Canaan
<03667>_,
the land
<0776>
of the Philistines
<06430>_,
I will even destroy
<06> (8689)
thee, that there shall be no inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_.
And the sea
<03220>
coast
<02256>
shall be dwellings
<05116>
[and] cottages
<03741>
for shepherds
<07462> (8802)_,
and folds
<01448>
for flocks
<06629>_.
And the coast
<02256>
shall be for the remnant
<07611>
of the house
<01004>
of Judah
<03063>_;
they shall feed
<07462> (8799)
thereupon: in the houses
<01004>
of Ashkelon
<0831>
shall they lie down
<07257> (8799)
in the evening
<06153>_:
for the LORD
<03068>
their God
<0430>
shall visit
<06485> (8799)
them, and turn away
<07725> (8804)
their captivity
<07622> (8675) <07622>_.
{for the LORD: or, when, etc}
I have heard
<08085> (8804)
the reproach
<02781>
of Moab
<04124>_,
and the revilings
<01421>
of the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_,
whereby they have reproached
<02778> (8765)
my people
<05971>_,
and magnified
<01431> (8686)
[themselves] against their border
<01366>_.
Therefore [as] I live
<02416>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
Surely Moab
<04124>
shall be as Sodom
<05467>_,
and the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>
as Gomorrah
<06017>_,
[even] the breeding
<04476>
of nettles
<02738>_,
and saltpits
<04379> <04417>_,
and a perpetual
<05704> <05769>
desolation
<08077>_:
the residue
<07611>
of my people
<05971>
shall spoil
<0962> (8799)
them, and the remnant
<03499>
of my people
<01471>
shall possess
<05157> (8799)
them.
This shall they have for their pride
<01347>_,
because they have reproached
<02778> (8765)
and magnified
<01431> (8686)
[themselves] against the people
<05971>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
The LORD
<03068>
[will be] terrible
<03372> (8737)
unto them: for he will famish
<07329> (8804)
all the gods
<0430>
of the earth
<0776>_;
and [men] shall worship
<07812> (8691)
him, every one
<0376>
from his place
<04725>_,
[even] all the isles
<0339>
of the heathen
<01471>_.
{famish: Heb. make lean}
Ye Ethiopians
<03569>
also, ye
<01992>
[shall be] slain
<02491>
by my sword
<02719>_.
And he will stretch out
<05186> (8799)
his hand
<03027>
against the north
<06828>_,
and destroy
<06> (8762)
Assyria
<0804>_;
and will make
<07760> (8799)
Nineveh
<05210>
a desolation
<08077>_,
[and] dry
<06723>
like a wilderness
<04057>_.
And flocks
<05739>
shall lie down
<07257> (8804)
in the midst
<08432>
of her, all the beasts
<02416>
of the nations
<01471>_:
both the cormorant
<06893>
and the bittern
<07090>
shall lodge
<03885> (8799)
in the upper lintels
<03730>
of it; [their] voice
<06963>
shall sing
<07891> (8787)
in the windows
<02474>_;
desolation
<02721>
[shall be] in the thresholds
<05592>_:
for he shall uncover
<06168> (8765)
the cedar work
<0731>_.
{cormorant: or, pelican} {upper...: or, knops, or, chapiters} {for...: or, when he hath uncovered}
This [is] the rejoicing
<05947>
city
<05892>
that dwelt
<03427> (8802)
carelessly
<0983>_,
that said
<0559> (8802)
in her heart
<03824>_,
I [am], and [there is] none beside
<0657>
me: how is she become a desolation
<08047>_,
a place for beasts
<02416>
to lie down in
<04769>_!
every one that passeth by
<05674> (8802)
her shall hiss
<08319> (8799)_,
[and] wag
<05128> (8686)
his hand
<03027>_.
