*The word of the Lord which came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of aHizkiah, *in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah. 2 †I will utterly consume all things from off †the land, saith the Lord. 3 I bwill consume cman and beast; bI will consume cthe fowls of the heaven, and cdthe fishes of the sea, And ethe ||stumblingblocks with the wicked; And fI will cut off man from off the land, saith the Lord. 4 I will also stretch out mine hand upon Judah, And upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; And gI will cut off hthe remnant of Baal from this place, And ithe name of jthe Chemarims with the priests; 5 And kthem that worship the host of heaven kupon the housetops; And lthem that worship and lmthat swear ||by the Lord, And lnthat swear by oMalcham; 6 And pthem that are turned back qfrom the Lord; And rthose that have not sought the Lord, nor inquired for him. 7 sHold thy peace at the presence of the Lord God: For tthe day of the Lord is at hand: For uthe Lord hath prepared a sacrifice, He hath †bid vhis guests.
