1
The word of vuvh which came unto Tzephanyah the
son of Kushi, 3203 the son of Gedalyahu, the son of
Amaryah, the son of Hizkiyah, in the days of Yoshiyahu
the son of Amon, melech of Yahudah.
2 I will utterly consume all things from eretz Yisrael,
says vuvh.
3 I will consume man and beast; I will consume the
fowls of the shamayim, and the fishes of the sea, and the
stumbling-blocks with the wicked; and I will cut off man
from off eretz Yisrael, says vuvh.
4 I will also stretch out My hand upon Yahudah, and
upon all the inhabitants of Yahrushalayim; and I will
cut off the remnant of Ba’al from this place, and the
name of the leading Kohanim of idolatry with the
Kohanim;
5 And them that worship the host of the shamayim upon
the housetops; and them that worship and that swear by
vuvh, and that swear by Malcham at the same time; 3204
6 And them that are turned back from vuvh; and those
that have not sought vuvh, nor inquired of Him.
7 Keep silent at the presence of the Master vuvh: for
Yom vuvh 3205 is at hand: for vuvh has prepared a
sacrifice, He has invited His guests.
8 And it shall come to pass in the day of vuvh’s
sacrifice, that I will punish the rulers, and the melech’s
children, and all such as are clothed with strange
apparel. 3206
9 In the same day also will I punish all those that do
violence and plunder, who fill their masters’ houses
with violence and deceit.
10 And it shall come to pass in that day, says vuvh, that
there shall be the noise of a cry from the Fish Gate, and
a howling from the second quarter, and a great
crashing from the hills.
11 Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the
merchant people are cut down; all they that bear silver
are cut off.
12 And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will
search Yahrushalayim with candles, and punish the men
that despise their watchmen: that say in their lev, vuvh
will not do tov, neither will He do evil.
13 Therefore their goods shall become a spoil, and their
houses a desolation: they shall also build houses, but
not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but not
drink the wine of it.
14 The great Yom vuvh is near, it is near, and
approaching greatly, even the voice of the Yom vuvh:
then the mighty man shall cry out bitterly.
15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and
tribulation, a day of waste and desolation, a day of
darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick
darkness, 3207
16 A day of the shofars 3208 and alarm against the
fortified cities, and against the high towers.
17 And I will bring tribulation upon men, that they shall
walk like blind men, because they have sinned against
vuvh: and their dahm shall be poured out as dust, and
their flesh as dung.
18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to

deliver them in the Yom of vuvh’s wrath; but the fire of
His jealousy shall devour the whole earth: for He shall
make even a speedy end of all them that dwell in the
earth.
2
Gather yourselves together, yes, gather together, O
nation without discipline; 3209
2 Before the decree comes forth, before the day pass as
the chaff, before the fierce anger of vuvh comes upon
you, before the Yom of vuvh’s anger comes upon
you. 3210
3 Seek vuvh, all you meek of the earth, who have done
His mishpat of Torah; seek tzedakah, seek meekness: it
may be that you shall be hidden in the Yom of vuvh’s
anger. 3211
4 For Azah shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a
desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noonday,
and Ekron shall be rooted up.
5 Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation
of Crete! The word of vuvh is against you also; O
Kanaan, the land of the Plishtim, I will even destroy
you, that there shall be no inhabitant.
6 And the seacoast shall be dwellings and cottages for
shepherds, and folds for flocks.
7 And the coast shall be for the remnant of Beit
Yahudah; they shall feed there: in the houses of
Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening: for vuvh
their Elohim shall visit them, and turn back their
captivity. 3212
8 I have heard the reproach of Moav, and the reviling of
the children of Ammon, by which they have reproached
My people, and magnified themselves against their
border.
9 Therefore as I live, says vuvh tzevaoth, the Elohim of
Yisrael, Surely Moav shall be as Sodom, and the
children of Ammon as Gomorrah, even the breeding of
weeds, and salt pits, and a waste forever: the remnant of
My people shall plunder them, 3213 and the remnant of
My people shall possess them.
10 This shall they have in return for their pride, because
they have reproached and magnified themselves against
the people of vuvh tzevaoth.
11 vuvh will be a fright to them: for He will destroy all
the melechim of the earth; and men 3214 shall worship
Him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the
seas. 3215
12 Yes Ethiopians also, you too shall be slain by My
sword.
13 And He will stretch out His hand against the north,
and destroy Ashshur; and will make Ninveh a
desolation, and dry like a wilderness.
14 And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the
beasts of the nations: both the pelican and the owls shall
lodge in the upper tops of her columns; their voice shall
sing in the windows; desolation shall be in her gates: for
He shall uncover the cedar foundations and lay them
bare.
15 This is the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that
said in her lev, I am, and there is none beside me: how
