Zephaniah 1:1 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 This is the message that the Lord gave to Zephaniah. He received this message during the time that Josiah son of Amon was king of Judah. Zephaniah was the son of Cush, who was the son of Gedaliah. Gedaliah was the son of Amariah, who was the son of Hezekiah.
2 The Lord says, "I will destroy everything on earth.
3 I will destroy all the people and all the animals. I will destroy the birds in the air and the fish in the sea. I will destroy the evil people and everything that makes them sin. I will remove all people from the earth." This is what the Lord said.
4 "I will punish Judah and the people living in Jerusalem. I will remove from this place the last signs of Baal worship, the priests, and all the people who
5 go up on their roofs to worship the stars. People will forget about those false priests. Some people say they worship me. They promised to worship me, but now they worship the false god Milcom. So I will remove them from that place.
6 Some people turned away from the Lord and stopped following me. They stopped asking the Lord for help, so I will remove them from that place."
7 Be silent before the Lord God, because the Lord's day for judging the people is coming soon. The Lord has prepared his sacrifice, and he has told his invited guests to get ready.
8 {The Lord said,} "On the Lord's day of sacrifice, I will punish the king's sons and other leaders. I will punish all the people wearing clothes from other countries.
9 At that time I will punish all the people who jump over the threshold and those who fill their master's house with lies and violence."
10 The Lord also said, "At that time people will be calling for help at Fish Gate in Jerusalem and mourning in the new part of town. They will hear the sound of destruction in the hills around the city.
11 You people living in the lower part of town will cry, because all the traders and rich merchants will be destroyed.
12 "At that time I will take a lamp and search through Jerusalem. I will find all those who are satisfied to live their own way. They say, 'The Lord does nothing. He does not help, and he does not hurt!' I will find them, and I will punish them.
13 Then others will take their wealth and destroy their houses. Those who built houses will not live in them, and those who planted vineyards will not drink the wine from the grapes."
14 The Lord's special day for judging is coming soon! It is near and coming fast. People will hear very sad sounds on the Lord's special day of judgment. Even strong soldiers will cry.
15 The Lord will show his anger at that time. It will be a time of terrible troubles and a time of destruction. It will be a time of darkness� a black, cloudy, and stormy day.
16 It will be {like a time of war when} people hear horns and trumpets in the defense towers and protected cities.
17 {The Lord said,} "I will make life very hard on the people. They will walk around like the blind who don't know where they are going. That will happen because they sinned against the Lord. Their blood will be spilled on the ground. Their dead bodies will lie like dung on the ground.
18 Their gold and silver will not help them! At that time the Lord will become very upset and angry. The Lord will destroy the whole world! He will completely destroy everyone on earth!"
1 The word H1697 of the LORD H3068 which H834 came H1961 unto H413 Zephaniah H6846 the son H1121 of Cushi, H3570 the son H1121 of Gedaliah, H1436 the son H1121 of Amariah, H568 the son H1121 of Hizkiah, H2396 in the days H3117 of Josiah H2977 the son H1121 of Amon, H526 king H4428 of Judah. H3063
2 I will utterly consume H622 H5486 all H3605 things from off H4480 H5921 H6440 the land, H127 saith H5002 the LORD. H3068
3 I will consume H5486 man H120 and beast; H929 I will consume H5486 the fowls H5775 of the heaven, H8064 and the fishes H1709 of the sea, H3220 and the stumblingblocks H4384 with H854 the wicked; H7563 and I will cut off man H120 from off H4480 H5921 H6440 the land, H127 saith H5002 the LORD. H3068
4 I will also stretch out H5186 mine hand H3027 upon H5921 Judah, H3063 and upon H5921 all H3605 the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem; H3389 and I will cut off H3772 H853 the remnant H7605 of Baal H1168 from H4480 this H2088 place, H4725 and H853 the name H8034 of the Chemarims H3649 with H5973 the priests; H3548
5 And them that worship H7812 the host H6635 of heaven H8064 upon H5921 the housetops; H1406 and them that worship H7812 and that swear H7650 by the LORD, H3068 and that swear H7650 by Malcham; H4445
6 And them that are turned back H5472 from H4480 H310 the LORD; H3068 and those that H834 have not H3808 sought H1245 H853 the LORD, H3068 nor H3808 inquired H1875 for him.
7 Hold thy peace H2013 at the presence H4480 H6440 of the Lord H136 GOD: H3069 for H3588 the day H3117 of the LORD H3068 is at hand: H7138 for H3588 the LORD H3068 hath prepared H3559 a sacrifice, H2077 he hath bid H6942 his guests. H7121
8 And it shall come to pass H1961 in the day H3117 of the LORD's H3068 sacrifice, H2077 that I will punish H6485 H5921 the princes, H8269 and the king's H4428 children, H1121 and all H3605 such as are clothed H3847 with strange H5237 apparel. H4403
9 In the same H1931 day H3117 also will I punish H6485 H5921 all H3605 those that leap H1801 on H5921 the threshold, H4670 which fill H4390 their masters' H113 houses H1004 with violence H2555 and deceit. H4820
10 And it shall come to pass H1961 in that H1931 day, H3117 saith H5002 the LORD, H3068 that there shall be the noise H6963 of a cry H6818 from the fish H1709 gate H4480 H8179 , and a howling H3215 from H4480 the second, H4932 and a great H1419 crashing H7667 from the hills H4480 H1389 .
11 Howl H3213 , ye inhabitants H3427 of Maktesh, H4389 for H3588 all H3605 the merchant H3667 people H5971 are cut down; H1820 all H3605 they that bear H5187 silver H3701 are cut off. H3772
12 And it shall come to pass H1961 at that H1931 time, H6256 that I will search H2664 H853 Jerusalem H3389 with candles, H5216 and punish H6485 H5921 the men H376 that are settled H7087 on H5921 their lees: H8105 that say H559 in their heart, H3824 The LORD H3068 will not H3808 do good, H3190 neither H3808 will he do evil. H7489
13 Therefore their goods H2428 shall become H1961 a booty, H4933 and their houses H1004 a desolation: H8077 they shall also build H1129 houses, H1004 but not H3808 inhabit H3427 them ; and they shall plant H5193 vineyards, H3754 but not H3808 drink H8354 H853 the wine H3196 thereof.
14 The great H1419 day H3117 of the LORD H3068 is near, H7138 it is near, H7138 and hasteth H4118 greatly, H3966 even the voice H6963 of the day H3117 of the LORD: H3068 the mighty man H1368 shall cry H6873 there H8033 bitterly. H4751
15 That H1931 day H3117 is a day H3117 of wrath, H5678 a day H3117 of trouble H6869 and distress, H4691 a day H3117 of wasteness H7722 and desolation, H4875 a day H3117 of darkness H2822 and gloominess, H653 a day H3117 of clouds H6051 and thick darkness, H6205
16 A day H3117 of the trumpet H7782 and alarm H8643 against H5921 the fenced H1219 cities, H5892 and against H5921 the high H1364 towers. H6438
17 And I will bring distress H6887 upon men, H120 that they shall walk H1980 like blind men, H5787 because H3588 they have sinned H2398 against the LORD: H3068 and their blood H1818 shall be poured out H8210 as dust, H6083 and their flesh H3894 as the dung. H1561
18 Neither H3808 H1571 their silver H3701 nor H1571 their gold H2091 shall be able H3201 to deliver H5337 them in the day H3117 of the LORD's H3068 wrath; H5678 but the whole H3605 land H776 shall be devoured H398 by the fire H784 of his jealousy: H7068 for H3588 he shall make H6213 even H389 a speedy H926 riddance H3617 of H854 all H3605 them that dwell H3427 in the land. H776
