- The word of the Lord came to Zephaniah saying, I will utterly consume the land & the wicked who worship Milcom. The day of Yahweh is near, a day of wrath, trouble & distress. Woe to the princes, merchants & unbelievers. Their gold & silver will not deliver them on that day. #Zph1
- Before that day comes, seek the Lord; seek meekness & righteousness. Gaza will be forsaken & the Philistines’ land destroyed. Moab shall be as Sodom, Ammon as Gomorrah: saltpits & a perpetual desolation. Ethiopians will be slain, Assyria ruined, & Nineveh made a wilderness. #Zph2
- Woe to the filthy & polluted city Jerusalem: her princes are wolves; her prophets treacherous; her priests violate the law. I will gather nations & devour them with the fire of my jealousy. Those who do no wrong shall not be afraid. The Lord will rejoice & undo afflictions. #Zph3
