CHAP. I.
4 Threatnings against Iudah and Ierusalem, because of their idolatrie.
1 The word of the Lord, which came
vnto Zephaniah þe; sonne of Cushi,
the sonne of Gedaliah, the sonne
of Amariah, the sonne of Hizkiah,
in the dayes of note Iosiah, the sonne
of note Amon King of Iudah.
2 I will surely destroy all things from off the
land, saith the Lorde.
3 I will destroy man and beast: I wil destroy
the note foules of the heauen, and the fishes of the
sea, and ruines shalbe to the wicked, and I will cut
off man from off the land, saith the Lord.
4 I will also stretch out mine hand vpon Iudah,
and vpon all the inhabitants of Ierusalem, and
I wil cut off the remnant of Baal from this place,
and the name of the note Chemarims with þe; Priestes,
5 And them that worship the hoste of heauen
vpon the house tops, and them that worship
and sweare by the Lord, and sweare by note Malcham,
6 And them that are turned backe from the
Lord, and those that haue not sought the Lorde,
nor inquired for him.
7 Be stil at the presence of the Lord God: for
the day of the Lord is at hand: for the Lord hath
prepared a sacrifice, and hath sanctified his ghests.
8 And it shalbe in the day of the Lords sacrifice,
that I will visite the princes and the Kings
children, and all such as are clothed with note strange
apparell.
9 In the same day also will I visite all those
that note dance vpon the threshold so proudly, which
fill their masters houses by crueltie and deceite.
10 And in that day, saith the Lord, there shall
be a noise, and cry from the note fishgate, and an howling
from the second gate, and a great destruction
from the hilles.
11 Howle ye inhabitants of note the lowe place:
for the companie of the marchants is destroyed:
all they that beare siluer, are cut off.
12 And at that time will I searche Ierusalem
with note lightes, and visite the men that are frosen
note in their dregges, & say in their heartes, The Lord
will neither doe good nor doe euill.
13 Therefore their goods shall be spoyled, and
their houses waste: note they shall also build houses,
but not inhabite them, and they shall plant vineyards,
but not drinke the wine thereof.
14 The great day of the Lorde is neere: it is
neere, and hasteth greatly, euen the voyce of the
day of the Lord: note the strong man shall cry there
bitterly.
15 noteThat day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble
and heauinesse, a day of destruction and desolation,
a day of obscuritie and darkenesse, a day of
cloudes and blackenesse,
16 A day of the trumpet and alarme against
the strong cities, and against the hie towres.
17 And I will bring distresse vpon men, that
they shall walke like blind men, because they haue
sinned against the Lorde, and their blood shall be
powred out as dust, and their flesh as the dongue.
18 noteNeither their siluer nor their golde shalbe
able to deliuer them in þe; day of the Lords wrath,
but the note whole lande shalbe deuoured by the fire
of his ielousie: for hee shall make euen a speedie
riddance of all them that dwell in the land.
