Zephaniah 3:1-13

3:1

Woe
<01945>

to her that is filthy
<04754> (8802)

and polluted
<01351> (8737)_,

to the oppressing
<03238> (8802)

city
<05892>_!

{her...: or, gluttonous: Heb. craw}

3:2

She obeyed
<08085> (8804)

not the voice
<06963>_;

she received
<03947> (8804)

not correction
<04148>_;

she trusted
<0982> (8804)

not in the LORD
<03068>_;

she drew not near
<07126> (8804)

to her God
<0430>_.

{correction: or, instruction}

3:3

Her princes
<08269>

within
<07130>

her [are] roaring
<07580> (8802)

lions
<0738>_;

her judges
<08199> (8802)

[are] evening
<06153>

wolves
<02061>_;

they gnaw not the bones
<01633> (8804)

till the morrow
<01242>_.

3:4

Her prophets
<05030>

[are] light
<06348> (8802)

[and] treacherous
<0900>

persons
<0582>_:

her priests
<03548>

have polluted
<02490> (8765)

the sanctuary
<06944>_,

they have done violence
<02554> (8804)

to the law
<08451>_.

3:5

The just
<06662>

LORD
<03068>

[is] in the midst
<07130>

thereof; he will not do
<06213> (8799)

iniquity
<05766>_:

every
<01242>

morning
<01242>

doth he bring
<05414> (8799)

his judgment
<04941>

to light
<0216>_,

he faileth
<05737> (8738)

not; but the unjust
<05767>

knoweth
<03045> (8802)

no shame
<01322>_.

{every...: Heb. morning by morning}

3:6

I have cut off
<03772> (8689)

the nations
<01471>_:

their towers
<06438>

are desolate
<08074> (8738)_;

I made their streets
<02351>

waste
<02717> (8689)_,

that none passeth by
<05674> (8802)_:

their cities
<05892>

are destroyed
<06658> (8738)_,

so that there is no man
<0376>_,

that there is none inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_.

{towers: or, corners}

3:7

I said
<0559> (8804)_,

Surely thou wilt fear
<03372> (8799)

me, thou wilt receive
<03947> (8799)

instruction
<04148>_;

so their dwelling
<04583>

should not be cut off
<03772> (8735)_,

howsoever
<0834> <03605>

I punished
<06485> (8804)

them: but
<0403>

they rose early
<07925> (8689)_,

[and] corrupted
<07843> (8689)

all their doings
<05949>_.

3:8

Therefore wait
<02442> (8761)

ye upon me, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

until the day
<03117>

that I rise up
<06965> (8800)

to the prey
<05706>_:

for my determination
<04941>

[is] to gather
<0622> (8800)

the nations
<01471>_,

that I may assemble
<06908> (8800)

the kingdoms
<04467>_,

to pour
<08210> (8800)

upon them mine indignation
<02195>_,

[even] all my fierce
<02740>

anger
<0639>_:

for all the earth
<0776>

shall be devoured
<0398> (8735)

with the fire
<0784>

of my jealousy
<07068>_.

3:9

For then will I turn
<02015> (8799)

to the people
<05971>

a pure
<01305> (8803)

language
<08193>_,

that they may all call
<07121> (8800)

upon the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

to serve
<05647> (8800)

him with one
<0259>

consent
<07926>_.

{language: Heb. lip} {consent: Heb. shoulder}

3:10

From beyond
<05676>

the rivers
<05104>

of Ethiopia
<03568>

my suppliants
<06282>_,

[even] the daughter
<01323>

of my dispersed
<06327> (8803)_,

shall bring
<02986> (8686)

mine offering
<04503>_.

3:11

In that day
<03117>

shalt thou not be ashamed
<0954> (8799)

for all thy doings
<05949>_,

wherein thou hast transgressed
<06586> (8804)

against me: for then I will take away
<05493> (8686)

out of the midst
<07130>

of thee them that rejoice
<05947>

in thy pride
<01346>_,

and thou shalt no more
<03254> (8686)

be haughty
<01361> (8800)

because of my holy
<06944>

mountain
<02022>_.

{because...: Heb. in my holy}

3:12

I will also leave
<07604> (8689)

in the midst
<07130>

of thee an afflicted
<06041>

and poor
<01800>

people
<05971>_,

and they shall trust
<02620> (8804)

in the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

3:13

The remnant
<07611>

of Israel
<03478>

shall not do
<06213> (8799)

iniquity
<05766>_,

nor speak
<01696> (8762)

lies
<03577>_;

neither shall a deceitful
<08649>

tongue
<03956>

be found
<04672> (8735)

in their mouth
<06310>_:

for they shall feed
<07462> (8799)

and lie down
<07257> (8804)_,

and none shall make [them] afraid
<02729> (8688)_.
