Zephaniah Chapter 1 The word of the Lord
which came unto Zephaniah, the son of

00:05.620 --> 00:10.660
Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of
Amoriah, the son of Hezkiah, in the days

00:10.660 --> 00:12.780
of Josiah the son of Ammon king of Judah.

00:31.860 --> 00:36.520
I will also stretch out mine hand upon
Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of

00:36.520 --> 00:41.260
Jerusalem, and I will cut off the remnant
of Baal from this place, in the name of

00:41.260 --> 00:45.060
the Cimmerians with the priests,
and them that worship the host of heaven

00:45.060 --> 00:49.360
upon the housetops, and them that worship
and that swear by the Lord, and that swear

00:49.360 --> 00:54.200
by Malcolm, and them that are turned back
from the Lord, and those that have not

00:54.200 --> 00:56.160
sought the Lord, nor inquired for him.

00:57.540 --> 01:02.200
Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord
God, for the day of the Lord is at hand,

01:03.140 --> 01:08.160
for the Lord hath prepared a sacrifice,
he hath bid his guests, and it shall come

01:08.160 --> 01:12.220
to pass in the day of the Lord's
sacrifice, that I will punish the princes,

01:12.780 --> 01:16.960
and the king's children, and all such as
are clothed with strange apparel.

01:17.580 --> 01:21.620
In the same day also will I punish all
those that leap on the threshold,

01:22.060 --> 01:25.380
which fill their masters' houses with
violence and deceit.

01:26.540 --> 01:31.180
And it shall come to pass in that day,
saith the Lord, that there shall be the

01:31.180 --> 01:35.000
noise of a cry from the fish gate,
and an howling from the second,

01:35.400 --> 01:37.060
and a great crashing from the hills.

01:38.100 --> 01:42.520
Howl, ye inhabitants of Mactish,
for all the merchant people are cut down,

01:43.140 --> 01:45.260
all they that bear silver are cut off.

01:46.080 --> 01:50.320
And it shall come to pass at that time,
that I will search Jerusalem with candles,

01:50.700 --> 01:54.880
and punish the men that are settled on
their lees, but say in their heart,

01:55.840 --> 01:58.520
the Lord will not do good, neither will he
do evil.

01:59.400 --> 02:03.500
Therefore their goods shall become a
booty, and their houses a desolation.

02:04.360 --> 02:07.060
And they shall also build houses,
but not inhabit them.

02:07.660 --> 02:11.420
And they shall plant vineyards,
but not drink the wine thereof.

02:12.640 --> 02:14.380
The great day of the Lord is near.

02:15.260 --> 02:19.120
It is near, and hasteth greatly,
even the voice of the day of the Lord.

02:19.900 --> 02:21.900
The mighty man shall cry there bitterly.

02:22.680 --> 02:28.360
That day is a day of wrath, a day of
trouble and distress, a day of wasteness

02:28.360 --> 02:33.600
and desolation, a day of darkness and
gloominess, a day of clouds and thick

02:33.600 --> 02:38.160
darkness, a day of the trumpet and alarm
against the fenced cities and against the

02:38.160 --> 02:38.740
high towers.

02:38.740 --> 02:44.020
And I will bring distress upon men,
that they shall walk like blind men,

02:44.240 --> 02:48.040
because they have sinned against the Lord,
and their blood shall be poured out as

02:48.040 --> 02:51.000
dust, and their flesh as the dung.

02:52.320 --> 02:55.640
Neither their silver nor their gold shall
be able to deliver them in the day of the

02:55.640 --> 02:56.220
Lord's wrath.

02:57.120 --> 03:01.440
But the whole land shall be devoured by
the fire of his jealousy, for he shall

03:01.440 --> 03:05.180
make even a speedy riddance of all them
that dwell in the land.
