Zephaniah 2 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

Judgments on Judah's Enemies

Zep 2:1Gather yourselves together, yes, gather together, you nation that has no shame,

Zep 2:2before the appointed time when the day passes as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD comes on you, before the day of the LORD's anger comes on you.

Zep 2:3

Zep 2:3Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land, who have kept his ordinances. Seek righteousness. Seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden in the day of the LORD's anger.

Zep 2:4

Zep 2:4For `Aza will be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation. They will drive out Ashdod at noonday, and `Ekron will be rooted up.

Zep 2:5

Zep 2:5Woe to the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Kereti! The word of the LORD is against you, Kana`an, the land of the Pelishtim. I will destroy you, that there will be no inhabitant.

Zep 2:6

Zep 2:6The sea coast will be pastures, with cottages for shepherds and folds for flocks.

Zep 2:7

Zep 2:7The coast will be for the remnant of the house of Yehudah. They will find pasture. In the houses of Ashkelon, they will lie down in the evening, for the LORD, their God, will visit them, and restore them.

Zep 2:8

Zep 2:8I have heard the reproach of Mo'av, and the insults of the children of `Ammon, with which they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border.

Zep 2:9

Zep 2:9Therefore as I live, says the LORD of Hosts, the God of Yisra'el, surely Mo'av will be as Sedom, and the children of `Ammon as `Amorah, a possession of nettles, and salt pits, and a perpetual desolation. The remnant of my people will plunder them, and the survivors of my nation will inherit them.

Zep 2:10

Zep 2:10This they will have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the LORD of Hosts.

Zep 2:11

Zep 2:11The LORD will be awesome to them, for he will famish all the gods of the land. Men will worship him, everyone from his place, even all the shores of the nations.

Zep 2:12

Zep 2:12You Kushi also, you will be killed by my sword.

Zep 2:13

Zep 2:13He will stretch out his hand against the north, destroy Ashshur, and will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry like the wilderness.

Zep 2:14

Zep 2:14Herds will lie down in the midst of her, all the animals of the nations. Both the ka`at and the porcupine will lodge in its capitals. Their calls will echo through the windows. Desolation will be in the thresholds, for he has laid bare the cedar beams.

Zep 2:15

Zep 2:15This is the joyous city that lived carelessly, that said in her heart, "I am, and there is none besides me." How she has become a desolation, a place for animals to lie down in! Everyone who passes by her will hiss, and shake their fists.
