The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 which came unto ZephaniahH6846 the sonH1121 of CushiH3570, the sonH1121 of GedaliahH1436, the sonH1121 of AmariahH568, the sonH1121 of HizkiahH2396, in the daysH3117 of JosiahH2977 the sonH1121 of AmonH526, kingH4428 of JudahH3063.
I will utterlyH622 consumeH5486 all things from off the landH6440+H127, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {I will…: Heb. By taking away I will make an end} {the land: Heb. the face of the land}
I will consumeH5486 manH120 and beastH929; I will consumeH5486 the fowlsH5775 of the heavenH8064, and the fishesH1709 of the seaH3220, and the stumblingblocksH4384 with the wickedH7563; and I will cut offH3772 manH120 from offH6440 the landH127, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {stumblingblocks: or, idols}
I will also stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon JudahH3063, and upon all the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389; and I will cut offH3772 the remnantH7605 of BaalH1168 from this placeH4725, and the nameH8034 of the ChemarimsH3649 with the priestsH3548;
And them that worshipH7812 the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 upon the housetopsH1406; and them that worshipH7812 and that swearH7650 by the LORDH3068, and that swearH7650 by MalchamH4428; {by the…: or, to the LORD}
And them that are turned backH5472 fromH310 the LORDH3068; and those that have not soughtH1245 the LORDH3068, nor enquiredH1875 for him.
Hold thy peaceH2013 at the presenceH6440 of the LordH136 GODH3069: for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is at handH7138: for the LORDH3068 hath preparedH3559 a sacrificeH2077, he hath bidH6942 his guestsH7121. {bid: Heb. sanctified, or, prepared}
And it shall come to pass in the dayH3117 of the LORD'SH3068 sacrificeH2077, that I will punishH6485 the princesH8269, and the king'sH4428 childrenH1121, and all such as are clothedH3847 with strangeH5237 apparelH4403. {punish: Heb. visit upon}
In the same dayH3117 also will I punishH6485 all those that leapH1801 on the thresholdH4670, which fillH4390 their masters'H113 housesH1004 with violenceH2555 and deceitH4820.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that there shall be the noiseH6963 of a cryH6818 from the fishH1709 gateH8179, and an howlingH3215 from the secondH4932, and a greatH1419 crashingH7667 from the hillsH1389.
HowlH3213, ye inhabitantsH3427 of MakteshH4389, for all the merchantH3667 peopleH5971 are cut downH1820; all they that bearH5187 silverH3701 are cut offH3772.
And it shall come to pass at that timeH6256, that I will searchH2664 JerusalemH3389 with candlesH5216, and punishH6485 the menH582 that are settledH7087 on their leesH8105: that sayH559 in their heartH3824, The LORDH3068 will not do goodH3190, neither will he do evilH7489. {settled: Heb. curded, or, thickened}
Therefore their goodsH2428 shall become a bootyH4933, and their housesH1004 a desolationH8077: they shall also buildH1129 housesH1004, but not inhabitH3427 them; and they shall plantH5193 vineyardsH3754, but not drinkH8354 the wineH3196 thereof.
The greatH1419 dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is nearH7138, it is nearH7138, and hastethH4118 greatlyH3966, even the voiceH6963 of the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068: the mighty manH1368 shall cryH6873 there bitterlyH4751.
That dayH3117 is a dayH3117 of wrathH5678, a dayH3117 of troubleH6869 and distressH4691, a dayH3117 of wastenessH7722 and desolationH4875, a dayH3117 of darknessH2822 and gloominessH653, a dayH3117 of cloudsH6051 and thick darknessH6205,
A dayH3117 of the trumpetH7782 and alarmH8643 against the fencedH1219 citiesH5892, and against the highH1364 towersH6438.
And I will bring distressH6887 upon menH120, that they shall walkH1980 like blind menH5787, because they have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068: and their bloodH1818 shall be poured outH8210 as dustH6083, and their fleshH3894 as the dungH1561.
Neither their silverH3701 nor their goldH2091 shall be ableH3201 to deliverH5337 them in the dayH3117 of the LORD'SH3068 wrathH5678; but the whole landH776 shall be devouredH398 by the fireH784 of his jealousyH7068: for he shall makeH6213 even a speedyH926 riddanceH3617 of all them that dwellH3427 in the landH776.

It repentethH5162 me that I have set upH4427 SaulH7586 to be kingH4428: for he is turned backH7725 from followingH310 me, and hath not performedH6965 my commandmentsH1697. And it grievedH2734 SamuelH8050; and he criedH2199 unto the LORDH3068 all nightH3915.
The wickedH7563, through the prideH1363 of his countenanceH639, will not seekH1875 after God: GodH430 is not in all his thoughtsH4209. {God is…: or, all his thoughts are, There is no God}

HowG4459 shall weG2249 escapeG1628, if we neglectG272 so greatG5082 salvationG4991; whichG3748 at the firstG746 beganG2983 to be spokenG2980 byG1223 the LordG2962, and was confirmedG950 untoG1519 usG2248 byG5259 them that heardG191 him;
