1 The word 3056 of the lord 2962 which 3739 came 1096 to 4314 Zephaniah the 3588 son of 3588 Cushi, son 5207 of Gedaliah, son of 3588 Amariah, son of 3588 Hezekiah, in 1722 the days 2250 of Josiah son of 5207 Amon, king 935 of Judah.
2 In want, let all want 1587 from 575 the face 4383 of the 3588 earth, 1093 says 3004 the lord ! 2962
3 Let [⁴be wanting 1587 ¹man 444 ²and 2532 ³cattle]; 2934 let [⁵be wanting 1587 ¹the 3588 ²birds 4071 ³of the 3588 ⁴heaven], 3772 and 2532 the 3588 fishes 2486 of the 3588 sea. 2281 And 2532 [³shall be sickened 770 ¹the 3588 ²impious]. 765 And 2532 I will lift away 1808 the 3588 lawless deeds 459 from 575 the face 4383 of the 3588 land, 1093 says 3004 the lord . 2962
4 And 2532 I will stretch out 1614 3588 my 1473 hand 5495 upon 1909 Judah and 2532 upon 1909 all 3956 the ones 3588 dwelling 2730 in Jerusalem. And 2532 I will remove 1808 from out of 1537 3588 this 3778 place 5117 the 3588 names 3686 3588 of Baal, and 2532 the 3588 names 3686 of the 3588 priests 2409 with 3326 the 3588 consecrated things ; 2413
5 even 2532 the ones 3588 doing obeisance 4352 upon 1909 the 3588 roofs 1430 to the 3588 military 4756 of the 3588 heaven, 3772 and 2532 the ones 3588 doing obeisance 4352 and 2532 the ones 3588 swearing by an oath 3660 also according to 2596 the 3588 lord ; 2962 and 2532 the ones 3588 swearing an oath 3660 according to 2596 3588 their 1473 king; 935
6 and 2532 the ones 3588 turning aside 1578 from 575 the 3588 lord ; 2962 and 2532 the ones 3588 not 3361 seeking 2212 the 3588 lord ; 2962 and 2532 the ones 3588 not 3361 holding to 472 him. 1473
7 Be cautious 2125 before 575 the presence 4383 of the lord 2962 3588 God! 2316 for 1360 [⁵ is near 1451 ¹the 3588 ²day 2250 ³of the 3588 ⁴ lord ]! 2962 For 3754 the lord prepared 3588 his 1473 sacrifice, 2378 and 2532 he has sanctified 37 3588 his 1473 chosen. 2822
8 And 2532 it will be in 1722 the day 2250 of the sacrifice 2378 of the lord , 2962 that 2532 I will take vengeance 1556 upon 1909 the 3588 rulers, 758 and 2532 upon 1909 the 3588 house 3624 of the 3588 king, 935 and 2532 upon 1909 all 3956 the ones 3588 putting on 1746 [²garments 1742 ¹alien]. 245
9 And 2532 I will [²take vengeance 1556 ³upon 1909 ⁴all 3956 ¹visibly] at 1909 the 3588 gateways in 1722 that 1565 3588 day, 2250 upon the ones 3588 filling 4137 the 3588 house 3624 of the lord 2962 their 1473 God 2316 with impiety 763 and 2532 treachery. 1388
10 And 2532 it will be in 1722 3588 that 1565 day, 2250 says 3004 the lord , 2962 the sound 5456 of a cry 2906 from 575 the gate 4439 of men piercing, and 2532 shrieking of women from 575 the 3588 second quarter , 1208 and 2532 [²conflict ¹great] 3173 from 575 the 3588 hills. 1015
11 Wail! 2354 O ones 3588 dwelling 2730 the 3588 place being cut in pieces, 2629 for 3754 [⁴are like 3666 ¹all 3956 ²the 3588 ³people] 2992 Canaan, and 2532 [⁵were utterly destroyed 1842 ¹all 3956 ²the ones 3588 ³lifting up 1869 ⁴silver]. 694
12 And 2532 it will be in 1722 3588 that 1565 day, 2250 I will search out 1830 3588 Jerusalem with 3326 a lamp, 3088 and 2532 I will take vengeance 1556 upon 1909 the 3588 men, 435 of the ones 3588 paying no attention 2706 to 1909 3588 their 1473 injunctions; and 2532 the ones 3588 saying 3004 in 1722 3588 their 1473 hearts, 2588 In no way shall the lord do good, nor shall he inflict evil. 2559
13 And 2532 [²will be 3588 ¹their 1473 power] 1411 for 1519 ravaging, and 2532 3588 their 1473 houses 3624 for 1519 extinction. 854 And 2532 they shall build 3618 houses, 3614 but 2532 in no way shall they dwell 2730 in 1722 them. 1473 And 2532 they shall plant vineyards, 290 and 2532 in no way shall they drink 4095 3588 of their wine.
14 For 3754 [⁴ is near 1451 ²day 2250 ³ of the lord 2962 3588 ¹ the great], 3173 and 2532 near 1451 [²quickly 5036 ¹very]. 4970 The sound 5456 of the day 2250 of the lord 2962 [²bitter 4089 ³and 2532 ⁴harsh 4642 ¹is ordered up]. 5021
15 [² is a mighty 1415 ³day 2250 ⁴of anger 3709 3588 ¹That 1565 day]; 2250 a day 2250 of affliction 2347 and 2532 distress; 318 a day 2250 of misery 5004 and 2532 extinction; 854 a day 2250 of dimness 1105 and 2532 darkness; 4655 a day 2250 of cloud 3507 and 2532 fog;
16 a day 2250 of trumpet 4536 and 2532 a cry 2906 against 1909 the 3588 [²cities 4172 3588 ¹fortified], and 2532 against 1909 the 3588 [²corners 1137 3588 ¹high]. 5308
17 And 2532 I will squeeze out the 3588 men, 444 and 2532 they shall go 4198 as 5613 blind men, 5185 for 3754 against the 3588 lord 2962 they led into sin, and 2532 he shall pour out 1632 3588 their 1473 blood 129 as 5613 dust, 5522 and 2532 3588 their 1473 flesh 4561 as 5613 dung.
18 And 2532 3588 their 1473 silver 694 and 2532 3588 their 1473 gold 5553 in no way shall be able 1410 to rescue 1807 them 1473 in 1722 the day 2250 of the anger 3709 of the lord . 2962 And 2532 by 1722 fire 4442 his 1473 zeal 2205 shall consume 2654 all 3956 the 3588 land. 1093 For 1360 completion 4930 and 2532 diligence 4710 he will execute it 4160 upon 1909 all 3956 the ones 3588 dwelling 2730 the 3588 land. 1093
1 Be gathered 4863 and 2532 bound together, 4887 O 3588 [²nation 1484 3588 ¹uninstructed]! 521
2 before 4253 3588 your 1473 becoming 1096 as 5613 a flower 438 passing 3899 the day; 2250 before 4314 the 3588 coming 1904 upon 1909 you 1473 the wrath 3709 of the lord ; 2962 before 4253 the 3588 coming 1904 upon 1909 you 1473 the day 2250 of the wrath 3709 of the rage 2372 of the lord . 2962
3 Seek 2212 the 3588 lord 2962 all 3956 you humble ones 5011 of the earth! 1093 [²equity 2917 ¹Work], 2038 and 2532 [²righteousness 1343 ¹seek], 2212 and 2532 answer 611 them accordingly ! 1473 so that 3704 you should be sheltered in 1722 the day 2250 of the wrath 3709 of the lord . 2962
4 For 1360 Gaza will be for plundering, and 2532 Ashkelon for 1519 extinction, 854 and 2532 Ashdod at midday 3314 shall be cast forth, and 2532 Ekron shall be rooted out. 1610
5 Woe, 3759 the ones 3588 dwelling 2730 the 3588 measured out land of the 3588 sea -- 2281 sojourners 3941 of Cretans. The word 3056 of the lord 2962 is against 1909 you, 1473 O Canaan, land 1093 of the Philistines; 246 and 2532 I will destroy 622 you 1473 of 1537 your dwelling. 2733
6 And 2532 Crete shall be a pasture 3542 of flocks, 4168 and 2532 a haven for sheep. 4263
7 And 2532 [⁵will be ¹the 3588 ²measured out piece of land ³by the 3588 ⁴sea] 2281 for the 3588 remnant 2645 of the house 3624 of Judah; upon 1909 them 1473 they shall pasture in 1722 the 3588 houses 3624 of Ashkelon; in the afternoon they shall rest up 2647 from 575 in front 4383 of the sons 5207 of Judah; for 3754 [³shall visit 1980 ⁴them 1473 ¹ the lord 2962 3588 ²their 1473 God]; 2316 and 2532 he shall return 654 3588 their 1473 captivity. 161
8 I heard 191 the scorns 3680 of Moab, and 2532 the ill-treatment by the sons 5207 of Ammon, in 1722 which 3739 they berated 3679 3588 my 1473 people, 2992 and 2532 magnified themselves 3170 over 1909 3588 my 1473 borders. 3725
9 On account of 1223 this, 3778 as I live, says 3004 the lord 2962 3588 of the forces, 1411 the 3588 God 2316 of Israel, that 1360 Moab [²as 5613 ³Sodom ¹will be], and 2532 the sons 5207 of Ammon as 5613 Gomorrah, and 2532 Damascus ceasing. 1587 And it will be 2532 as 5613 a heap of salt 251 into 1519 the 3588 eon. 165 And 2532 the 3588 remnants 2645 of my people shall plunder 1283 them, 1473 and 2532 the 3588 remnants 2645 of my nation shall inherit 2816 them. 1473
10 This 3778 is to them 1473 for 473 3588 their 1473 insolence, 5196 because 1360 they berated 3679 and 2532 magnified themselves 3170 over 1909 the lord 2962 3588 almighty. 3841
11 The lord shall appear against 1909 them, 1473 and 2532 he shall utterly destroy 1842 all 3956 the 3588 gods 2316 of the 3588 nations 1484 of the 3588 earth. 1093 And 2532 they shall do obeisance to 4352 him, 1473 each 1538 from 1537 3588 his place -- all 3956 the 3588 islands 3520 of the 3588 nations. 1484
12 And 2532 you, 1473 O Ethiopians, [² the slain ³of my broadsword ¹are].
13 And 2532 he will stretch out 1614 3588 his 1473 hand 5495 against 1909 the north. 1005 And 2532 he shall destroy 622 the 3588 Assyrian, and 2532 he shall establish 5087 3588 Nineveh for 1519 [²extinction 854 ¹a waterless], 504 as 5613 a wilderness. 2048
14 And 2532 [²shall feed ³in 1722 ⁴ the midst 3319 ⁵of her 1473 ¹flocks], 4168 and 2532 all 3956 the 3588 wild beasts 2342 of the 3588 earth, 1093 and 2532 chameleons; and 2532 hedgehogs [²in 1722 3588 ³her 1473 fretwork ¹shall make a bed], and 2532 wild beasts 2342 to sound out loud 5455 in 1722 3588 her 1473 ditches, and 2532 crows 2876 in 1722 3588 her 1473 gatehouses. 4440 For 1360 [² was as the cedar 2748 3588 ¹her 1473 height].
15 This is 1473 the 3588 [²city 4172 3588 ¹heedless], the one 3588 dwelling 2730 upon 1909 hope, 1680 who 3739 says 3004 in 1722 3588 her 1473 heart, 2588 I 1473 am, and 2532 there is none after 3326 me 1473 any longer. 2089 O how 4459 it was 1096 for 1519 extinction, 854 a pasture 3542 of wild beasts. 2342 Every one 3956 3739 traveling 1279 through 1223 her 1473 shall whistle and 2532 shall shake 2795 3588 his 1473 hands. 5495
1 O 5599 the 3588 prominent 2016 and 2532 ransomed city, 4172 the 3588 dove. 4058
2 She did not listen to your 1473 voice; 5456 she did not 3756 take 1209 instruction; 3809 [²upon 1909 ³the 3588 ⁴ lord 2962 ¹she had not relied], and 2532 to 4314 3588 her 1473 God 2316 she did not 3756 approach. 1448
3 3588 Her 1473 rulers 758 among 1722 her 1473 are as 5613 lions 3023 roaring. 5612 3588 Her 1473 judges 2923 are as 5613 wolves 3074 3588 of Arabia; they did not 3756 remain behind 5275 into 1519 the morning. 4404
4 3588 Her 1473 prophets 4396 [²carried by the wind ¹ are men] -- 435 despisers. 2707 Her 1473 priests 2409 profane 953 the 3588 holy things , 39 and 2532 they are impious 764 against 1519 the 3588 law. 3551
5 But 1161 the 3588 [² lord 2962 ¹righteous] 1342 is in 1722 the midst 3319 of her, 1473 and 2532 in no way shall he do 4160 an unjust thing . 94 Morning 4404 by morning 4404 he executes 1325 his 1473 judgment 2917 in 1519 light, 5457 and 2532 it was not concealed. And 2532 he does not 3756 know 1097 injustice 93 by 1722 exaction, and 2532 neither 3756 [²by 1519 ³altercation ¹injustice]. 93
6 I tore down the proud; 5244 [²were obliterated 853 ¹their 1473 corners]; 1137 I shall make quite desolate 3588 their 1473 ways 3598 3588 thoroughly, so as 3588 to not 3361 travel through. 1353 [²vanished 1587 3588 ¹their 1473 cities] 4172 by reason of 1223 3588 no one 3367 to exist 5224 nor 3366 to dwell in them . 2730
7 I said, 2036 Furthermore 4133 fear 5399 me, 1473 and 2532 receive 1209 instruction! 3809 and 2532 in no way shall you be utterly destroyed 1842 from before 1537 her 1473 eyes, 3788 for all as much vengeance as I brought 1556 upon 1909 her. 1473 Prepare! 2090 Rise early! 3719 [³is ruined 1311 ¹all 3956 3588 ²their 1473 gleaning].
8 On account of 1223 this 3778 wait 5278 for me, 1473 says 3004 the lord , 2962 for 1519 the day 2250 of my rising up, for 1519 a testimony! 3142 For 1360 3588 my 1473 judgment 2917 shall be for 1519 a gathering 4864 of nations, 1484 3588 to take 1523 kings, 935 3588 to pour out 1632 upon 1909 them 1473 3588 [³anger 3709 ²of my 1473 ¹all], 3956 the anger 3709 of my rage. 2372 For 1360 [⁵by 1722 ⁶ the fire 4442 ⁷of my zeal ⁴shall be consumed 2654 ¹all 3956 ²the 3588 ³earth]. 1093
9 For 3754 then 5119 I will transfer 3344 upon 1909 the peoples 2992 one tongue 1100 for 1519 her 1473 generation, 1074 3588 for all to call upon the 3588 name 3686 of the lord , 2962 3588 to serve 1398 him 1473 under 5259 [²yoke 2218 ¹one]. 1520
10 From 1537 the limits 4009 of the rivers 4215 of Ethiopia I will welcome 5264 the ones 3588 of mine having been dispersed; they shall bring 5342 sacrifices to me. 1473
11 In 1722 3588 that 1565 day 2250 in no way shall you be disgraced 2617 from 1537 all 3956 3588 of your practices which 3739 you were impious 764 against 1519 me. 1473 For 3754 then 5119 I shall remove 4014 from 575 you 1473 the 3588 careless attitudes 3588 of your insolence, and 2532 no longer 3765 should you 3361 proceed 4369 3588 to make great brag 3166 over 1909 3588 [²mountain 3735 3588 ¹my 1473 holy]. 39
12 And 2532 I will leave behind 5275 among 1722 you 1473 [²people 2992 ¹a gentle], 4239 and 2532 humble; 5011 and 2532 they shall show reverence 2125 at 575 the 3588 name 3686 of the lord -- 2962
13 the 3588 remnant 2645 3588 of Israel; and 2532 they shall not 3756 commit 4160 iniquity, 93 and 2532 they shall not 3756 speak 2980 vanity, 3152 and 2532 in no way should there be found 2147 in 1722 3588 their 1473 mouth 4750 [²tongue 1100 ¹a deceitful]. 1386 For 1360 they 1473 shall feed, and 2532 shall lay in bed, and 2532 there will not be one 3588 frightening 1629 them. 1473
14 Rejoice, 5463 O daughter 2364 of Zion! Proclaim out loud , 2784 O daughter 2364 of Jerusalem! Be glad 2165 and 2532 delight yourself with 1537 [²entire 3650 3588 ³heart 2588 ¹your], 1473 O daughter 2364 of Jerusalem!
15 The lord removed 3588 your 1473 offences; 92 he has ransomed 3084 you 1473 from out of 1537 the hand 5495 of your enemies. The king 935 of Israel -- the lord 2962 in 1722 the midst 3319 of you. 1473 You shall not 3756 see 3708 the bad things 2556 any longer. 3765
16 In 1722 3588 that 1565 time 2540 the lord shall say to 3588 Jerusalem, Be of courage, 2293 O Zion, do not 3361 neglect 3935 3588 your 1473 hands! 5495
17 The lord 2962 3588 your 1473 God 2316 among 1722 you; 1473 the 3588 mighty one 1415 shall deliver 4982 you; 1473 he shall bring 1863 upon 1909 you 1473 gladness, 2167 and 2532 shall revive you 1473 in 1722 3588 his 1473 affection; and 2532 he shall be glad 2165 over 1909 you 1473 with 1722 delight as 5613 in 1722 the day 2250 of the holiday feast . 1859
18 And 2532 I will gather 4863 3588 your ones being broken. 4937 Woe, 3759 any 5100 taken 2983 [²upon 1909 ³her 1473 ¹scorning]. 3680
19 Behold, 2400 I 1473 will act 4160 among 1722 you, 1473 because of 1752 you 1473 in 1722 3588 that 1473 time. 2540 And 2532 I will deliver 4982 3588 her being pressured; and 2532 3588 [²her being thrust away 683 ¹will take]; 1523 and 2532 I will establish 5087 them 1473 for 1519 boasting 2745 and 2532 fame in 1722 all 3956 the 3588 earth. 1093
20 And 2532 their enemies shall be disgraced 2617 in 1722 3588 that 1565 time, 2540 whenever 3752 [²well 2573 ³with you 1473 ¹I should do], 4160 and 2532 in 1722 the 3588 time 2540 whenever 3752 I should take you in. For 1360 I will make 1325 you 1473 famous and 2532 for 1519 boasting 2745 among 1722 all 3956 the 3588 peoples 2992 of the 3588 earth, 1093 in 1722 3588 my 1473 returning 1994 3588 your 1473 captivity 161 before 1799 your eyes , 1473 says 3004 the lord . 2962
