Zep 01:01 ¶ 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>.

Zep 01:02 I will utterly <0622> (8800) consume < 05486> (8686)
all things from off the land <06440> <0127>, saith <05002>
(8803) the LORD <03068>.

Zep 01:03 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>.

Zep 01:04 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>;

Zep 01:05 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>;

Zep 01:06 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.

Zep 01:07 ¶ 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).

Zep 01:08 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>.

Zep 01:09 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> .

Zep 01:10 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>.

Zep 01:11 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).

Zep 01:12 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).

Zep 01:13 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.

Zep 01:14 ¶ 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>.

Zep 01:15 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>,

Zep 01:16 A day <03117> of the trumpet <07782> and alarm
<08643> against the fenced <01219> (8803) cities < 05892>, and
against the high <01364> towers <06438>.

Zep 01:17 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>.

Zep 01:18 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>.

Zep 02:01 ¶ Gather yourselves together <07197> (8703), yea,
gather together <07197> (8798), O nation <01471> not desired
<03700> (8737);

Zep 02:02 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.

Zep 02:03 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>.

Zep 02:04 ¶ 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).

Zep 02:05 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).

Zep 02:06 And the sea <03220> coast <02256> shall be dwellings
<05116> and cottages <03741> for shepherds < 07462> (8802), and
folds <01448> for flocks <06629>.

Zep 02:07 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>.

Zep 02:08 ¶ 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>.

Zep 02:09 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.

Zep 02:10 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>.

Zep 02:11 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>.

Zep 02:12 ¶ Ye Ethiopians <03569> also, ye <01992> shall be
slain <02491> by my sword <02719>.

Zep 02:13 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>.

Zep 02:14 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>.

Zep 02:15 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>.

Zep 03:01 ¶ Woe <01945> to her that is filthy <04754> (8802) and
polluted <01351> (8737), to the oppressing <03238> (8802) city
<05892>!

Zep 03:02 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>.

Zep 03:03 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>.

Zep 03:04 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>.

Zep 03:05 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>.

Zep 03:06 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).

Zep 03:07 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>.

Zep 03:08 ¶ 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>.

Zep 03:09 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>.

Zep 03:10 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>.

Zep 03:11 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>.

Zep 03:12 I will also leave <07604> (8689) in the midst <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>.

Zep 03:13 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).

Zep 03:14 ¶ Sing <07442> (8798), O daughter <01323> of Zion
<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>.

Zep 03:15 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.

Zep 03:16 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).

Zep 03:17 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>.

Zep 03:18 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>.

Zep 03:19 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>.

Zep 03:20 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>.
