Zephaniah:1:4-13
bes@Zephaniah:1:4 @ And I will stretch out mine hand upon Juda, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will remove the names of Baal out of this place, and the names of the priests;
bes@Zephaniah:1:5 @ and them that worship the host of heaven upon the house-tops; and them that worship and swear by the Lord, and them that swear by their king;
bes@Zephaniah:1:6 @ and them that turn aside from the Lord, and them that seek not the Lord, and them that cleave not to the Lord.
bes@Zephaniah:1:7 @ Fear ye before the Lord God; for the day of the Lord is near; for the Lord has prepared his sacrifice, and has sanctified his guests.
bes@Zephaniah:1:8 @ And it shall come to pass in the day of the Lord’s sacrifice, that I will take vengeance on the princes, and on the king’s house, and upon all that wear strange apparel.
bes@Zephaniah:1:9 @ And I will openly take vengeance (note:)Or, in(:note) on the porches in that day, on the men that fill the house of the Lord their God with ungodliness and deceit.
bes@Zephaniah:1:10 @ And there shall be in that day, saith the Lord, the sound of a cry from the gate of men slaying, and a howling from the second gate, and a great crashing from the hills.
bes@Zephaniah:1:11 @ Lament, ye that inhabit the city that has been broken down, for all the people has become like Chanaan; and all that were exalted by silver have been utterly destroyed.
bes@Zephaniah:1:12 @ And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will search Jerusalem with a candle, and will take vengeance on the men that despise the things committed to them; but they say in their hearts, The Lord will not do any good, neither will he do any evil.
bes@Zephaniah:1:13 @ And their power shall be for a spoil, and their houses for utter desolation; and they shall build houses, but shall not dwell in them; and they shall plant vineyards, but shall not drink the wine of them.
