Zephaniah 1:8-14 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

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 foreign apparel.

9. In the same day also will I punish all those that leap over the threshold, who fill their masters' houses with violence and deceit.

10. And it shall come to pass in that day,

11. Wail, you inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant people are cut down; all they that trade with silver are cut off.

12. And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and punish the men that are settled in their complacency: that say in their heart, The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil.

13. Therefore their goods shall become booty, and their houses a desolation: they shall also build houses, but not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink their wine.

14. The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hastens quickly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: there the mighty man shall cry out bitterly.
