Zephaniah 1:7-18
New King James Version
7 (A)Be silent in the presence of the Lord God;
(B)For the day of the Lord is at hand,
For (C)the Lord has prepared a sacrifice;
He has [a]invited His guests.
8 “And it shall be,
In the day of the Lord’s sacrifice,
That I will punish (D)the princes and the king’s children,
And all such as are clothed with foreign apparel.
9 In the same day I will punish
All those who (E)leap over the threshold,
Who fill their masters’ houses with violence and deceit.
10 “And there shall be on that day,” says the Lord,
“The sound of a mournful cry from (F)the Fish Gate,
A wailing from the Second Quarter,
And a loud crashing from the hills.
11 (G)Wail, you inhabitants of [b]Maktesh!
For all the merchant people are cut down;
All those who handle money are cut off.
12 “And it shall come to pass at that time
That I will search Jerusalem with lamps,
And punish the men
Who are (H)settled[c] in complacency,
(I)Who say in their heart,
‘The Lord will not do good,
Nor will He do evil.’
13 Therefore their goods shall become booty,
And their houses a desolation;
They shall build houses, but not inhabit them;
They shall plant vineyards, but (J)not drink their wine.”
14 (K)The great day of the Lord is near;
It is near and hastens quickly.
The noise of the day of the Lord is bitter;
There the mighty men shall cry out.
15 (L)That day is a day of wrath,
A day of trouble and distress,
A day of devastation and desolation,
A day of darkness and gloominess,
A day of clouds and thick darkness,
16 A day of (M)trumpet and alarm
Against the fortified cities
And against the high towers.
17 “I will bring distress upon men,
And they shall (N)walk like blind men,
Because they have sinned against the Lord;
Their blood shall be poured out like dust,
And their flesh like refuse.”
18 (O)Neither their silver nor their gold
Shall be able to deliver them
In the day of the Lord’s wrath;
But the whole land shall be devoured
By the fire of His jealousy,
For He will make speedy riddance
Of all those who dwell in the land.
