Zephaniah 1:7-13

⁷ Hush! because of the Lord Jehovah, For near 'is' a day of Jehovah, For prepared hath Jehovah a sacrifice, He hath sanctified His invited ones. ⁸ And it hath come to pass, In the day of the sacrifice of Jehovah, That I have laid a charge on the heads, And on sons of the king, And on all putting on strange clothing. ⁹ And I have laid a charge on every one Who is leaping over the threshold in that day, Who are filling the house of their masters 'With' violence and deceit. ¹⁰ And there hath been in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah, The noise of a cry from the fish-gate, And of a howling from the Second, And of great destruction from the hills. ¹¹ Howl, ye inhabitants of the hollow place, For cut off hath been all the merchant people, Cut off have been all bearing silver. ¹² And it hath come to pass, at that time, I search Jerusalem with lights, And I have laid a charge on the men Who are hardened on their preserved things, Who are saying in their heart: Jehovah doth no good, nor doth He evil. ¹³ And their wealth hath been for a spoil, And their houses for desolation, And they have built houses, and do not inhabit, And they have planted vineyards, And they do not drink their wine.
