Bible. Zephaniah
36:001:015 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a
day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and
gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,
36:001:016 A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and
against the high towers.
36:001:017 And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like
blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and
their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as
the dung.
36:001:018 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver
them in the day of the LORD's wrath; but the whole land shall
be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make
even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.
36:002:001 Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not
desired;
36:002:002 Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the
chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you,
before the day of the LORD's anger come upon you.
36:002:003 Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought
his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye
shall be hid in the day of the LORD's anger.
36:002:004 For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they
shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be
rooted up.
36:002:005 Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the
Cherethites! the word of the LORD is against you; O Canaan,
the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that
there shall be no inhabitant.
36:002:006 And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cottages for
shepherds, and folds for flocks.
36:002:007 And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah;
they shall feed thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall
they lie down in the evening: for the LORD their God shall
visit them, and turn away their captivity.
36:002:008 I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the
children of Ammon, whereby they have reproached my people, and
magnified themselves against their border.
36:002:009 Therefore as I live, saith the LORD of hosts, the God of
Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of
Ammon as Gomorrah, even the breeding of nettles, and saltpits,
and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall
spoil them, and the remnant of my people shall possess them.
36:002:010 This shall they have for their pride, because they have
reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the
LORD of hosts.
