rsv Zephaniah:1:4-13
rsv@Zephaniah:1:4 @ "I will stretch out my hand against Judah, and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off from this place the remnant of Ba'al and the name of the idolatrous priests;
rsv@Zephaniah:1:5 @ those who bow down on the roofs to the host of the heavens; those who bow down and swear to the LORD and yet swear by Milcom;
rsv@Zephaniah:1:6 @ those who have turned back from following the LORD, who do not seek the LORD or inquire of him."
rsv@Zephaniah:1:7 @ Be silent before the Lord GOD! For the day of the LORD is at hand; the LORD has prepared a sacrifice and consecrated his guests.
rsv@Zephaniah:1:8 @ And on the day of the LORD'S sacrifice--"I will punish the officials and the king's sons and all who array themselves in foreign attire.
rsv@Zephaniah:1:9 @ On that day I will punish every one who leaps over the threshold, and those who fill their master's house with violence and fraud."
rsv@Zephaniah:1:10 @ "On that day," says the LORD, "a cry will be heard from the Fish Gate, a wail from the Second Quarter, a loud crash from the hills.
rsv@Zephaniah:1:11 @ Wail, O inhabitants of the Mortar! For all the traders are no more; all who weigh out silver are cut off.
rsv@Zephaniah:1:12 @ At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and I will punish the men who are thickening upon their lees, those who say in their hearts, `The LORD will not do good, nor will he do ill.'
rsv@Zephaniah:1:13 @ Their goods shall be plundered, and their houses laid waste. Though they build houses, they shall not inhabit them; though they plant vineyards, they shall not drink wine from them."
