The word of Yahweh which came unto Zephaniah, son of Cushi, son of Gedaliah, son of Amariah, son of Hezekiah, - in the days of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah.

And I will stretch out my hand - over Judah, and over all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, - and will cut off out of this place, the name of Baal, the name of the priestlings, with the priests;

And the line shall belong to the remnant of the house of Judah, Thereon, shall they feed their flocks, - In the houses of Ashkelon, shall they, at eventide, lie down, for Yahweh their God will visit them, and bring their captives back.
