Zephaniah 1:1--3:20

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>_.

Woe
<01945>

to her that is filthy
<04754> (8802)

and polluted
<01351> (8737)_,

to the oppressing
<03238> (8802)

city
<05892>_!

{her...: or, gluttonous: Heb. craw}

She obeyed
<08085> (8804)

not the voice
<06963>_;

she received
<03947> (8804)

not correction
<04148>_;

she trusted
<0982> (8804)

not in the LORD
<03068>_;

she drew not near
<07126> (8804)

to her God
<0430>_.

{correction: or, instruction}

Her princes
<08269>

within
<07130>

her [are] roaring
<07580> (8802)

lions
<0738>_;

her judges
<08199> (8802)

[are] evening
<06153>

wolves
<02061>_;

they gnaw not the bones
<01633> (8804)

till the morrow
<01242>_.

Her prophets
<05030>

[are] light
<06348> (8802)

[and] treacherous
<0900>

persons
<0582>_:

her priests
<03548>

have polluted
<02490> (8765)

the sanctuary
<06944>_,

they have done violence
<02554> (8804)

to the law
<08451>_.

The just
<06662>

LORD
<03068>

[is] in the midst
<07130>

thereof; he will not do
<06213> (8799)

iniquity
<05766>_:

every
<01242>

morning
<01242>

doth he bring
<05414> (8799)

his judgment
<04941>

to light
<0216>_,

he faileth
<05737> (8738)

not; but the unjust
<05767>

knoweth
<03045> (8802)

no shame
<01322>_.

{every...: Heb. morning by morning}

I have cut off
<03772> (8689)

the nations
<01471>_:

their towers
<06438>

are desolate
<08074> (8738)_;

I made their streets
<02351>

waste
<02717> (8689)_,

that none passeth by
<05674> (8802)_:

their cities
<05892>

are destroyed
<06658> (8738)_,

so that there is no man
<0376>_,

that there is none inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_.

{towers: or, corners}

I said
<0559> (8804)_,

Surely thou wilt fear
<03372> (8799)

me, thou wilt receive
<03947> (8799)

instruction
<04148>_;

so their dwelling
<04583>

should not be cut off
<03772> (8735)_,

howsoever
<0834> <03605>

I punished
<06485> (8804)

them: but
<0403>

they rose early
<07925> (8689)_,

[and] corrupted
<07843> (8689)

all their doings
<05949>_.

Therefore wait
<02442> (8761)

ye upon me, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

until the day
<03117>

that I rise up
<06965> (8800)

to the prey
<05706>_:

for my determination
<04941>

[is] to gather
<0622> (8800)

the nations
<01471>_,

that I may assemble
<06908> (8800)

the kingdoms
<04467>_,

to pour
<08210> (8800)

upon them mine indignation
<02195>_,

[even] all my fierce
<02740>

anger
<0639>_:

for all the earth
<0776>

shall be devoured
<0398> (8735)

with the fire
<0784>

of my jealousy
<07068>_.

For then will I turn
<02015> (8799)

to the people
<05971>

a pure
<01305> (8803)

language
<08193>_,

that they may all call
<07121> (8800)

upon the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

to serve
<05647> (8800)

him with one
<0259>

consent
<07926>_.

{language: Heb. lip} {consent: Heb. shoulder}

From beyond
<05676>

the rivers
<05104>

of Ethiopia
<03568>

my suppliants
<06282>_,

[even] the daughter
<01323>

of my dispersed
<06327> (8803)_,

shall bring
<02986> (8686)

mine offering
<04503>_.

In that day
<03117>

shalt thou not be ashamed
<0954> (8799)

for all thy doings
<05949>_,

wherein thou hast transgressed
<06586> (8804)

against me: for then I will take away
<05493> (8686)

out of the midst
<07130>

of thee them that rejoice
<05947>

in thy pride
<01346>_,

and thou shalt no more
<03254> (8686)

be haughty
<01361> (8800)

because of my holy
<06944>

mountain
<02022>_.

{because...: Heb. in my holy}

I will also leave
<07604> (8689)

<07130>

of thee an afflicted
<06041>

and poor
<01800>

people
<05971>_,

and they shall trust
<02620> (8804)

in the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

The remnant
<07611>

of Israel
<03478>

shall not do
<06213> (8799)

iniquity
<05766>_,

nor speak
<01696> (8762)

lies
<03577>_;

neither shall a deceitful
<08649>

tongue
<03956>

be found
<04672> (8735)

in their mouth
<06310>_:

for they shall feed
<07462> (8799)

and lie down
<07257> (8804)_,

and none shall make [them] afraid
<02729> (8688)_.

Sing
<07442> (8798)_,

O daughter

<06726>_;

shout
<07321> (8685)_,

O Israel
<03478>_;

be glad
<08055> (8798)

and rejoice
<05937> (8798)

with all the heart
<03820>_,

O daughter
<01323>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_.

The LORD
<03068>

hath taken away
<05493> (8689)

thy judgments
<04941>_,

he hath cast out
<06437> (8765)

thine enemy
<0341> (8802)_:

the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

[even] the LORD
<03068>_,

[is] in the midst
<07130>

of thee: thou shalt not see
<07200> (8799)

evil
<07451>

any more.

In that day
<03117>

it shall be said
<0559> (8735)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

Fear
<03372> (8799)

thou not: [and to] Zion
<06726>_,

Let not thine hands
<03027>

be slack
<07503> (8799)_.

{slack: or, faint}

The LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

in the midst
<07130>

of thee [is] mighty
<01368>_;

he will save
<03467> (8686)_,

he will rejoice
<07797> (8799)

over thee with joy
<08057>_;

he will rest
<02790> (8686)

in his love
<0160>_,

he will joy
<01523> (8799)

over thee with singing
<07440>_.

{rest: Heb. be silent}

I will gather
<0622> (8804)

[them that are] sorrowful
<03013> (8737)

for the solemn assembly
<04150>_,

[who] are of thee, [to whom] the reproach
<02781>

of it [was] a burden
<04864>_.

{reproach...: Heb. the burden upon it was reproach}

Behold, at that time
<06256>

I will undo
<06213> (8802)

all that afflict
<06031> (8764)

thee: and I will save
<03467> (8689)

her that halteth
<06760> (8802)_,

and gather
<06908> (8762)

her that was driven out
<05080> (8737)_;

and I will get
<07760> (8804)

them praise
<08416>

and fame
<08034>

in every land
<0776>

where they have been put to shame
<01322>_.

{get...: Heb. set them for a praise} {where...: Heb. of their shame}

At that time
<06256>

will I bring
<0935> (8686)

you [again], even in the time
<06256>

that I gather
<06908> (8763)

you: for I will make
<05414> (8799)

you a name
<08034>

and a praise
<08416>

among all people
<05971>

of the earth
<0776>_,

when I turn back
<07725> (8800)

your captivity
<07622>

before your eyes
<05869>_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_.
