The Bible In One Year Bible Reading For Day Number - 354 The
Book Of Zephaniah King James Version Zephaniah
-- 1{1} The word
of the LORD which came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the
son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king
of Judah. {2} I will utterly consume all things from off the land,
saith the LORD. {3} I will consume man and beast; I will consume the
fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks with the
wicked; and I will cut off man from off the land, saith the LORD. {4}
I will also stretch out mine hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of
Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, and the name
of the Chemarims with the priests; {5} And them that worship the host
of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship and that swear by the LORD,
and that swear by Malcham; {6} And them that are turned back from the
LORD; and those that have not sought the LORD, nor inquired for him. {7}
Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD: for the day of the LORD is at
hand: for the LORD hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests. {8}
And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD's sacrifice, that I will punish
the princes, and the king's children, and all such as are clothed with strange
apparel. {9} In the same day also will I punish all those that leap
on the threshold, which fill their masters' houses with violence and deceit.
{10} And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that there
shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and an howling from the second,
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 Jerusalem
with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their
heart, The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil. {13} Therefore
their goods shall become a booty, and their houses a desolation: they shall also
build houses, but not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink
the wine thereof. {14} The great day of the LORD is near, it is near,
and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall
cry there bitterly. {15} 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, {16} A day of the trumpet and alarm
against the fenced cities, and against the high towers. {17} 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. {18} 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. Zephaniah
-- 2{1} Gather
yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired; {2}
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. {3} 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. {4} For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon
a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be
rooted up. {5} 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.
{6} And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds, and
folds for flocks. {7} 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. {8} 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. {9} 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. {10} This shall they have for their pride, because
they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the LORD of
hosts. {11} The LORD will be terrible unto them: for he will famish
all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from his place,
even all the isles of the heathen. {12} Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall
be slain by my sword. {13} And he will stretch out his hand against
the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh 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 cormorant and the bittern shall lodge in the
upper lintels of it; their voice shall sing in the windows; desolation shall be
in the thresholds: for he shall uncover the cedar work. {15} This is
the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I am, and there
is none beside me: how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down
in! every one that passeth by her shall hiss, and wag his hand.
Zephaniah -- 3{1}
Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city! {2}
She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the
LORD; she drew not near to her God. {3} Her princes within her are
roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the
morrow. {4} Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests
have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law. {5}
The just LORD is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning
doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no
shame. {6} I have cut off the nations: their towers are desolate; I
made their streets waste, that none passeth by: their cities are destroyed, so
that there is no man, that there is none inhabitant. {7} I said, Surely
thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive instruction; so their dwelling should not
be cut off, howsoever I punished them: but they rose early, and corrupted all
their doings. {8} Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until
the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations,
that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all
my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
{9} For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all
call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent. {10}
From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed,
shall bring mine offering. {11} In that day shalt thou not be ashamed
for all thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against me: for then I will
take away out of the midst of thee them that rejoice in thy pride, and thou shalt
no more be haughty because of my holy mountain. {12} I will also leave
in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the
name of the LORD. {13} The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity,
nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for
they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid. {14}
Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart,
O daughter of Jerusalem. {15} The LORD hath taken away thy judgments,
he hath cast out thine enemy: the king of Israel, even the LORD, is in the midst
of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more. {16} In that day it shall
be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: and to Zion, Let not thine hands be slack.
{17} The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he
will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee
with singing. {18} I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn
assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach of it was a burden. {19}
Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that
halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame
in every land where they have been put to shame. {20} At that time
will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you
a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity
before your eyes, saith the LORD. Revelation
-- 11{1} And there
was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure
the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. {2}
But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it
is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty
and two months. {3} And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and
they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
{4} These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before
the God of the earth. {5} And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth
out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them,
he must in this manner be killed. {6} These have power to shut heaven,
that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to
turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they
will. {7} And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast
that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall
overcome them, and kill them. {8} And their dead bodies shall lie in
the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where
also our Lord was crucified. {9} And they of the people and kindreds
and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and
shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. {10} And they
that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send
gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on
the earth. {11} And after three days and an half the Spirit of life
from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell
upon them which saw them. {12} And they heard a great voice from heaven
saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and
their enemies beheld them. {13} And the same hour was there a great
earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain
of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the
God of heaven. {14} The second woe is past; and, behold, the third
woe cometh quickly. {15} And the seventh angel sounded; and there were
great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms
of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. {16}
And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon
their faces, and worshipped God, {17} Saying, We give thee thanks,
O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken
to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. {18} And the nations were
angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged,
and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the
saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them
which destroy the earth. {19} And the temple of God was opened in heaven,
and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings,
and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
