Jehovah = "the existing One"
the proper name of the one true God
unpronounced except with the vowel pointings of H136

The word of the LORD that came to Zephaniah son of Cushi, son of Gedaliah, son of Amariah, son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah.
I will completely sweep away everything
from the face of the earth —
this is the LORD’s declaration.
I will sweep away people and animals;
I will sweep away the birds of the sky
and the fish of the sea,
and the ruins[fn] along with the wicked.
I will cut off mankind
from the face of the earth.
This is the LORD’s declaration.
those who bow in worship on the rooftops
to the stars in the sky;
those who bow and pledge loyalty to the LORD
but also pledge loyalty to Milcom;[fn]
and those who turn back from following the LORD,
who do not seek the LORD or inquire of him.
Be silent in the presence of the Lord GOD,
for the day of the LORD is near.
Indeed, the LORD has prepared a sacrifice;
he has consecrated his guests.
On the day of the LORD’s sacrifice
I will punish the officials, the king’s sons,
and all who are dressed in foreign clothing.
On that day —
this is the LORD’s declaration —
there will be an outcry from the Fish Gate,
a wailing from the Second District,
and a loud crashing from the hills.
And at that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps
and punish those who settle down comfortably,[fn]
who say to themselves:
The LORD will do nothing — good or bad.
The great day of the LORD is near,
near and rapidly approaching.
Listen, the day of the LORD —
then the warrior’s cry is bitter.
I will bring distress on mankind,
and they will walk like the blind
because they have sinned against the LORD.
Their blood will be poured out like dust
and their flesh like dung.
Their silver and their gold
will be unable to rescue them
on the day of the LORD’s wrath.
The whole earth will be consumed
by the fire of his jealousy,
for he will make a complete,
yes, a horrifying end
of all the inhabitants of the earth.
before the decree takes effect
and the day passes like chaff,
before the burning of the LORD’s anger overtakes you,
before the day of the LORD’s anger overtakes you.
Seek the LORD, all you humble of the earth,
who carry out what he commands.
Seek righteousness, seek humility;
perhaps you will be concealed
on the day of the LORD’s anger.
Woe, inhabitants of the seacoast,
nation of the Cherethites![fn]
The word of the LORD is against you,
Canaan, land of the Philistines:
I will destroy you until there is no one left.
The coastland will belong
to the remnant of the house of Judah;
they will find pasture there.
They will lie down in the evening
among the houses of Ashkelon,
for the LORD their God will return to them
and restore their fortunes.
Therefore, as I live —
this is the declaration of the LORD of Armies,
the God of Israel —
Moab will be like Sodom
and the Ammonites like Gomorrah:
a place overgrown with weeds,
a salt pit, and a perpetual wasteland.
The remnant of my people will plunder them;
the remainder of my nation will dispossess them.
This is what they get for their pride,
because they have taunted and acted arrogantly
against the people of the LORD of Armies.
The LORD will be terrifying to them
when he starves all the gods of the earth.
Then all the distant coasts and islands of the nations
will bow in worship to him,
each in its own place.
She has not obeyed;
she has not accepted discipline.
She has not trusted in the LORD;
she has not drawn near to her God.
The righteous LORD is in her;
he does no wrong.
He applies his justice morning by morning;
he does not fail at dawn,
yet the one who does wrong knows no shame.
Therefore, wait for me —
this is the LORD’s declaration —
until the day I rise up for plunder.[fn]
For my decision is to gather nations,
to assemble kingdoms,
in order to pour out my indignation on them,
all my burning anger;
for the whole earth will be consumed
by the fire of my jealousy.
For I will then restore
pure speech to the peoples
so that all of them may call
on the name of the LORD
and serve him with a single purpose.[fn]
I will leave
a meek and humble people among you,
and they will take refuge in the name of the LORD.
The LORD has removed your punishment;
he has turned back your enemy.
The King of Israel, the LORD, is among you;
you need no longer fear harm.
“The LORD your God is among you,
a warrior who saves.
He will rejoice over you with gladness.
He will be quiet[fn] in his love.
He will delight in you with singing.”
