Before the decree bring forth , before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of theLORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD'S anger come upon you.
Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seekrighteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger.
Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word of the LORDis against you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that there shall be noinhabitant .
And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed thereupon: in thehouses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening: for the LORD their God shall visit them, and turn away their captivity * .
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.
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 aperpetual * desolation: the residue of my people shall spoil them, and the remnant of my peopleshall possess them.

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 Nineveha desolation, and dry like a wilderness.14
15
And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the nations: both the cormorantand 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.
This is the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I am, and there is nonebeside 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 (King James Version)
e
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 thebones 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 hisjudgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame.
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 .
I said , Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive instruction; so their dwelling should not be cutoff , howsoever I punished them: but they rose early , and corrupted all their doings.
Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for mydetermination 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 myjealousy.
12
I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in thename of the LORD.13
14
Sing , O daughter of Zion; shout , O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughterof Jerusalem.15
16
In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: and to Zion, Let not thine hands beslack .17
18
I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom thereproach of it was a burden.19
20
Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth , and gatherher that was driven out ; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame.
At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a nameand a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saiththe LORD.
