Zephaniah 1:4-13 - The Lord Will Judge Judah
4 I will stretch out mine hand upon Judah, and upon all such as dwell at Jerusalem. Thus will I root out the remnant of Baal from this place, and the names of the Chemarims and priests: 5 yea, and such as upon their house-tops worship and bow themselves unto the host of heaven: which swear by the LORD, and by their Milcom also: 6 which start back from the LORD, and neither seek after the LORD, nor regard him. 7 Be still at the presence of the LORD God, for the day of the LORD is at hand: yea, the LORD hath prepared a slain offering, and called his guests thereto.
8 And thus shall it happen in the day of the LORD's slain offering: I will visit the princes, the king's children, and all such as wear strange clothing. 9 In the same day also will I visit all those that tread over the threshold so proudly, which fill their lords' house with robbery and falsity.
10 At the same time, sayeth the LORD, there shall be heard a great cry from the fish port and a howling from the other port, and a great murder from the hills. 11 Howl, ye that dwell in the mill! For all the merchant people are gone, and all they that were laden with silver, are rooted out.
12 At the same time will I seek through Jerusalem with lanterns, and visit them that continue in their dregs, and say in their hearts, "Tush, the LORD will do neither good nor evil." 13 Their goods shall be spoiled, and their houses laid waste. They shall build houses, and not dwell in them: they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof.
