Zephaniah 1:6-10
Zephaniah 1:6
I will destroy those who once worshiped the Lord but don't anymore. They don't seek the Lord or ask for my help.
Zephaniah 1:7
Be silent before the Lord God! For the day of the Lord is near: the Lord has prepared a sacrifice and consecrated his guests.
Zephaniah 1:8
Then on the day of the Lord's sacrifice I will punish the officials and the king's sons, and those who follow pagan ways.
Zephaniah 1:9
I will also punish those who jump over the threshold. On that day I will punish those who fill up their masters' houses using violence and deception.
Zephaniah 1:10
On that day, declares the Lord, a cry of grief will come from the Fish Gate, a wailing from the Second Quarter, and a loud crash from the hills.
