RF ZEP 1:1 Zephaniah's Office as Prophet was about 630 B.C.
THE Message from the EVER-LIVING that came to Zephaniah-ben-Kushi,—Ben-Gedaliah, Ben-Amariah, Ben-Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah-ben-Amon, King of Judah.
RF ZEP 1:2 The Message of the EVER-LIVING.
"I will reap! I will reap all the fat of the land,"
Says the LORD,
RF ZEP 1:3 "I will reap both the Man and the Beast.
I will reap all the birds of the skies and the fish of the sea,
With the vice of the vile!
And men will cut off from the face of the ground,"
Says the LORD;
RF ZEP 1:4 "And stretch out My hand against Judah,
At Jerusalem and all her people!
And cut off from his high place the Master of Bal,
And the fame of his Nobles and Priests,
RF ZEP 1:5 Who bow on the roofs to the Host of the skies,
And who worship, and mix with the LORD'S,
And all who swear by Milkom!
RF ZEP 1:6 And those who revolt from the LORD,—
Who seek not the LORD, nor desire Him!"
RF ZEP 1:7 Be still before the Great LORD,
For the day of the LORD is at hand;
The LORD has arranged for His feast—
And has chosen His guests.
RF ZEP 1:8 In the day of the feast of the LORD,
I will punish the Princes the Sons of the King,
And all wearing foreign attire!
RF ZEP 1:9 And punish all leaping the threshold,—
Who fill their LORD'S House with oppression and wrong!
RF ZEP 1:10 "And then," says the LORD, "a sound of shrieking will come from the Fish-gate, and a howling, and a great crash from the highlands.
RF ZEP 1:11 Howl, people of Maktesh! because all the Merchants are destroyed! All who earn money are cut off!
RF ZEP 1:12 "And at that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and punish the men settled on their dregs, who say in their hearts, 'The LORD can do neither benefit nor hurt.'
RF ZEP 1:13 But their wealth will be plundered, and their houses desolated! When they build houses they shall not inhabit them, or plant vineyards, they shall not drink the wine!"
RF ZEP 1:14 The Day when God Punishes.
The great day of the Lord approaches,
Approaches and comes on quick!
The sounds of the Day of the Lord!
When the Heroes will bitterly cry;
RF ZEP 1:15 A furious day is that day,
A day of distress and of grief,
A day of wide wasting and ruin.
A day of deep darkness and black,—
A day of thick clouds and of gloom,
RF ZEP 1:16 A day of the trumpet and drum
In the cities and fortified towns,
And in all the towers of the hills,—
RF ZEP 1:17 When I bring destruction on men,
And they walk like the blind,
Because they offended the LORD,
And shed blood, and spread corpses like dung!
RF ZEP 1:18 Nor their silver or gold can redeem,
In the day of the wrath of the LORD,
When His burning anger devours the ground,
When He wakes to a terrible end
Of all who inhabit the Land!
