Zephaniah:1:4-13
bbe@Zephaniah:1:4 @And my hand will be stretched out on Judah and on all the people of Jerusalem, cutting off the name of the Baal from this place, and the name of the false priests,
bbe@Zephaniah:1:5 @And the worshippers of the army of heaven on the house-tops, and the Lord's worshippers who take oaths by Milcom,
bbe@Zephaniah:1:6 @And those who are turned back from going after the Lord, and those who have not made prayer to the Lord or got directions from him.
bbe@Zephaniah:1:7 @Let there be no sound before the Lord God: for the day of the Lord is near: for the Lord has made ready an offering, he has made his guests holy.
bbe@Zephaniah:1:8 @And it will come about in the day of the Lord's offering, that I will send punishment on the rulers and the king's sons and all who are clothed in robes from strange lands.
bbe@Zephaniah:1:9 @And in that day I will send punishment on all those who come jumping over the doorstep and make their master's house full of violent behaviour and deceit.
bbe@Zephaniah:1:10 @And in that day, says the Lord, there will be the sound of a cry from the fish doorway, and an outcry from the new town, and a great thundering from the hills, and cries of grief from the people of the Hollow;
bbe@Zephaniah:1:11 @Because of the downfall of all the people of Canaan: all those who were weighted down with silver have been cut off.
bbe@Zephaniah:1:12 @And it will come about at that time, that I will go searching through Jerusalem with lights; and I will send punishment on the men who have become like wine stored over-long, who say to themselves, The Lord will not do good and will not do evil.
bbe@Zephaniah:1:13 @And their wealth will be violently taken away, and their houses will be made waste: they will go on building houses and never living in them, and planting vine-gardens but not drinking the wine from them.
