Zephaniah 1:1-3
Contemporary English Version
1 (A) I am Zephaniah, the son of Cushi, the grandson of Gedaliah, the great-grandson of Amariah, and the great-great-grandson of Hezekiah.[a]
When Josiah son of Amon was king of Judah,[b] the Lord gave me this message.
Judgment on Judah
2 I, the Lord, now promise
to destroy everything
on this earth—
3 people and animals,

Everyone who is evil
will crash to the ground,[c]
and I will wipe out
the entire human race.
