Zephaniah 1

2  I will utterly consume all things from off the face of the ground, saith Jehovah.

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.

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;

5  And them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship, that swear to Jehovah and swear by Malcam;

6  And them that are turned back from following Jehovah; and those that have not sought Jehovah, nor inquired after him.

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.

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.

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.

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.

11  Wail, ye inhabitants of Maktesh; for all the people of Canaan are undone; all they that were laden with silver are cut off.
