Sophonias
chapter 1
1
The
word of the Lord that came to Sophonias the son of Chusi, the son of Godolias,
the son of Amarias, the son of Ezechias, in the days of Josias the son of Amon
king of Juda.
2 Gathering, I will gather together all things from off
the face of the land, saith the Lord:
3 I will gather man, and beast, I will gather the birds
of the air, and the fishes of the sea: and the ungodly shall meet with ruin:
and I will destroy men from off the face of the land, saith the Lord.
4 And I will stretch out my hand upon Juda, and upon
all the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and I will destroy out of this place the
remnant of Baal, and the names of the wardens of the temples with the priests:
5 And them that worship the host of heaven upon the
tops of houses, and them that adore, and swear by the Lord, and swear by
Melchom.
6 And them that turn away from following after the
Lord, and that have not sought the Lord, nor searched after him.
7 Be silent before the face of the Lord God: for the
day of the Lord is near, for the Lord hath prepared a victim, he hath
sanctified his guests.
8 And it shall come to pass in the day of the victim of
the Lord, that I will visit upon the princes, and upon the king's sons, and
upon all such as are clothed with strange apparel.
9 And I will visit in that day upon every one that
entereth arrogantly over the threshold: them that fill the house of the Lord
their God with iniquity and deceit.
10 And there shall be in that day, saith the Lord, the
noise of a cry from the fish gate, and a howling from the Second, and a great
destruction from the hills.
11 Howl, ye inhabitants of the Morter. All the people
of Chanaan is hush, all are cut off that were wrapped up in silver.
12 And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will
search Jerusalem with lamps, and will visit upon the men that are settled on
their lees: that say in their hearts: The Lord will not do good, nor will he do
evil.
13 And their strength shall become a booty, and their
houses as a desert: and they shall build houses, and shall not dwell in them:
and they shall plant vineyards, and shall not drink the wine of them.
14 The great day of the Lord is near, it is near and
exceeding swift: the voice of the day of the Lord is bitter, the mighty man
shall there meet with tribulation.
15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of tribulation and
distress, a day of calamity and misery, a day of darkness and obscurity, a day
of clouds and whirlwinds,
16 A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced
cities, and against the high bulwarks.
17 And I will distress men, and they shall walk like
blind men, because they have sinned against the Lord: and their blood shall be
poured out as earth, and their bodies as dung.
18 Neither shall their silver and their gold be able to
deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord: all the land shall be
devoured by the fire of his jealousy, for he shall make even a speedy
destruction of all them that dwell in the land.
