Zephaniah 3:1
|
|
Woe to her that is rebellious and polluted!
to the oppressing city! |
|
|
|
|
|
Zephaniah 3:2
|
|
She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction;
she trusted not in Jehovah; she drew not near to her God. |
| |
|
|
|
Zephaniah 3:3
|
|
Her princes in the midst of her are roaring
lions; her judges are evening wolves; they leave nothing till the morrow. |
| |
|
|
|
Zephaniah 3:4
|
|
Her
prophets are light and treacherous persons; her priests have profaned the sanctuary,
they have done violence to the law. |
| |
|
|
|
Zephaniah 3:5
|
|
Jehovah in the midst of her is righteous; he
will not do iniquity; every morning doth he bring his justice to light, he faileth
not; but the unjust knoweth no shame. |
| |
|
|
|
Zephaniah 3:6
|
|
I have cut off nations; their battlements are
desolate; I have made their streets waste, so that none passeth by; their cities
are destroyed, so that there is no man, so that there is no inhabitant. |
| |
|
|
|
Zephaniah 3:7
|
|
I said, Only fear thou me; receive correction;
so her dwelling shall not be cut off, according to all that I have appointed concerning
her: but they rose early and corrupted all their doings. |
|
|
|
|
Zephaniah 3:8
|
|
Therefore wait ye for me, saith Jehovah, until
the day that I rise up to the prey; for my determination is to gather the nations,
that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all
my fierce anger; for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
|
|
|
|
|
Zephaniah 3:9
|
|
For then will I turn to the peoples of a pure
language, that they may all call upon the name of Jehovah, to serve him with one
consent. |
|
|
|
|
Zephaniah 3:10
|
|
From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants,
even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering. |
|
|
|
|
Zephaniah 3:11
|
|
In that day shalt thou not be put to shame for
all thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against me; for then I will take
away out of the midst of thee thy proudly exulting ones, and thou shalt no more
be haughty in my holy mountain. |
|
|
|
|
Zephaniah 3:12
|
|
But I will leave in the midst of thee an afflicted
and poor people, and they shall take refuge in the name of Jehovah. |
|
|
|
|
Zephaniah 3:13
|
|
The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity,
nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth; for
they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid. |
|
|
|
|
Zephaniah 3:14
|
|
Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be
glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem. |
|
|
|
|
Zephaniah 3:15
|
|
Jehovah hath taken away thy judgments, he hath
cast out thine enemy: the King of Israel, even Jehovah, is in the midst of thee;
thou shalt not fear evil any more. |
|
|
|
|
Zephaniah 3:16
|
|
In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear
thou not; O Zion, let not thy hands be slack. |
|
|
|
|
Zephaniah 3:17
|
|
Jehovah thy God is in the midst of thee, a mighty
one who will save; he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love;
he will joy over thee with singing. |
|
|
|
|
Zephaniah 3:18
|
|
I will gather them that sorrow for the solemn
assembly, who were of thee; to whom the burden upon her was a reproach. |
|
|
|
|
Zephaniah 3:19
|
|
Behold, at that time I will deal with all them
that afflict thee; and I will save that which is lame, and gather that which was
driven away; and I will make them a praise and a name, whose shame hath been in
all the earth. |
| |
|
|
|
Zephaniah 3:20
|
|
At that time will I bring you in, and at that
time will I gather you; for I will make you a name and a praise among all the
peoples of the earth, when I bring back your captivity before your eyes, saith
Jehovah. |
