The word of Jehovah is against you, O Canaan, the land of the Philistines; I will destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant.\nVerse 2:6: And the sea-coast shall be pastures, with cottages for shepherds and folds for flocks.\nVerse 2:7: And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed their flocks thereupon; in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening; for Jehovah their God will visit them, and bring back their captivity.\nVerse 2:8: I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, wherewith they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border.\nVerse 2:9: Therefore as I live, saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, a possession of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall make a prey of them, and the remnant of my nation shall inherit them.\nVerse 2:10: This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of Jehovah of hosts.\nVerse 2:11: Jehovah 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 nations.\nVerse 2:12: Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by my sword.\nVerse 2:13: And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria, and will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry like the wilderness.\nVerse 2:14: And herds shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the nations: both the pelican and the porcupine shall lodge in the capitals thereof; their voice shall sing in the windows; desolation shall be in the thresholds: for he hath laid bare the cedar-work.\nVerse 2:15: This is the joyous city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none besides 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.\n\n### Zephaniah 3\n\nVerse 3:1: Woe to her that is rebellious and polluted! to the oppressing city!\nVerse 3:2: She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in Jehovah; she drew not near to her God.\nVerse 3:3: Her princes in the midst of her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they leave nothing till the morrow.\nVerse 3:4: Her prophets are light and treacherous persons; her priests have profaned the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.\nVerse 3:5: Jehovah in the midst of her is righteous; he will not do iniquity; every morning doth he bring his justice to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame.\nVerse 3:6: I have cut off nations; their battlements are desolate; I have made their streets waste, so that none passeth by; their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, so that there is no inhabitant.\nVerse 3:7: I said, Only fear thou me; receive correction; so her dwelling shall not be cut off, according to all that I have appointed concerning her: but they rose early and corrupted all their doings.\nVerse 3:8: Therefore wait ye for me, saith Jehovah, 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.\nVerse 3:9: For then will I turn to the peoples of a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of Jehovah, to serve him with one consent.\nVerse 3:10: From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering.\nVerse 3:11: In that day shalt thou not be put to shame for all thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against me; for then I will take away out of the midst of thee thy proudly exulting ones, and thou shalt no more be haughty in my holy mountain.\nVerse 3:12: But I will leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall take refuge in the name of Jehovah.\nVerse 3:13: 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.\nVerse 3:14: Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.\nVerse 3:15: Jehovah hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the King of Israel, even Jehovah, is in the midst of thee; thou shalt not fear evil any more.\nVerse 3:16: In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not; O Zion, let not thy hands be slack.\nVerse 3:17: Jehovah thy God is in the midst of thee, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love; he will joy over thee with singing.\nVerse 3:18: I will gather them that sorrow for the solemn assembly, who were of thee; to whom the burden upon her was a reproach.\nVerse 3:19: Behold, at that time I will deal with all them that afflict thee; and I will save that which is lame, and gather that which was driven away; and I will make them a praise and a name, whose shame hath been in all the earth.\nVerse 3:20: At that time will I bring you in, and at that time will I gather you; for I will make you a name and a praise among all the peoples of the earth, when I bring back your captivity before your eyes, saith Jehovah.",

Vox diei Domini amara: tribulabitur ibi fortis.\nVerse 1:15: Dies iræ dies illa, dies tribulationis et angustiæ, dies calamitatis et miseriæ, dies tenebrarum et caliginis, dies nebulæ et turbinis,\nVerse 1:16: dies tubæ et clangoris super civitates munitas, et super angulos excelsos.\nVerse 1:17: Et tribulabo homines, et ambulabunt ut cæci, quia Domino peccaverunt; et effundetur sanguis eorum sicut humus, et corpora eorum sicut stercora.\nVerse 1:18: Sed et argentum eorum et aurum eorum non poterit liberare eos in die iræ Domini: in igne zeli ejus devorabitur omnis terra, quia consummationem cum festinatione faciet cunctis habitantibus terram.\n\n### Zephaniah 2\n\nVerse 2:1: Convenite, congregamini, gens non amabilis,\nVerse 2:2: priusquam pariat jussio quasi pulverem transeuntem diem, antequam veniat super vos ira furoris Domini, antequam veniat super vos dies indignationis Domini.\nVerse 2:3: Quærite Dominum, omnes mansueti terræ, qui judicium ejus estis operati; quærite justum, quærite mansuetum, si quomodo abscondamini in die furoris Domini.\nVerse 2:4: Quia Gaza destructa erit, et Ascalon in desertum: Azotum in meridie ejicient, et Accaron eradicabitur.\nVerse 2:5: Væ qui habitatis funiculum maris, gens perditorum ! verbum Domini super vos, Chanaan, terra Philisthinorum; et disperdam te, ita ut non sit inhabitator.\nVerse 2:6: Et erit funiculus maris requies pastorum, et caulæ pecorum;\nVerse 2:7: et erit funiculus ejus qui remanserit de domo Juda: ibi pascentur, in domibus Ascalonis ad vesperam requiescent, quia visitabit eos Dominus Deus eorum, et avertet captivitatem eorum.\nVerse 2:8: Audivi opprobrium Moab, et blasphemias filiorum Ammon, quæ exprobraverunt populo meo, et magnificati sunt super terminos eorum.\nVerse 2:9: Propterea vivo ego, dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël, quia Moab ut Sodoma erit, et filii Ammon quasi Gomorrha: siccitas spinarum, et acervi salis, et desertum usque in æternum: reliquiæ populi mei diripient eos, et residui gentis meæ possidebunt illos.\nVerse 2:10: Hoc eis eveniet pro superbia sua, quia blasphemaverunt et magnificati sunt super populum Domini exercituum.\nVerse 2:11: Horribilis Dominus super eos, et attenuabit omnes deos terræ: et adorabunt eum viri de loco suo, omnes insulæ gentium.\nVerse 2:12: Sed et vos, Æthiopes, interfecti gladio meo eritis.\nVerse 2:13: Et extendet manum suam super aquilonem, et perdet Assur, et ponet speciosam in solitudinem, et in invium, et quasi desertum.\nVerse 2:14: Et accubabunt in medio ejus greges, omnes bestiæ gentium; et onocrotalus et ericius in liminibus ejus morabuntur: vox cantantis in fenestra, corvus in superliminari, quoniam attenuabo robur ejus.\nVerse 2:15: Hæc est civitas gloriosa habitans in confidentia, quæ dicebat in corde suo: Ego sum, et extra me non est alia amplius: quomodo facta est in desertum cubile bestiæ? omnis qui transit per eam sibilabit, et movebit manum suam.\n\n### Zephaniah 3\n\nVerse 3:1: Væ provocatrix, et redempta civitas, columba !\nVerse 3:2: non audivit vocem, et non suscepit disciplinam; in Domino non est confisa, ad Deum suum non appropinquavit.\nVerse 3:3: Principes ejus in medio ejus quasi leones rugientes; judices ejus lupi vespere, non relinquebant in mane.\nVerse 3:4: Prophetæ ejus vesani, viri infideles; sacerdotes ejus polluerunt sanctum, injuste egerunt contra legem.\nVerse 3:5: Dominus justus in medio ejus non faciet iniquitatem; mane, mane judicium suum dabit in lucem, et non abscondetur; nescivit autem iniquus confusionem.\nVerse 3:6: Disperdidi gentes, et dissipati sunt anguli earum; desertas feci vias eorum, dum non est qui transeat; desolatæ sunt civitates eorum, non remanente viro, neque ullo habitatore.\nVerse 3:7: Dixi: Attamen timebis me, suscipies disciplinam; et non peribit habitaculum ejus, propter omnia in quibus visitavi eam: verumtamen diluculo surgentes corruperunt omnes cogitationes suas.\nVerse 3:8: Quapropter exspecta me, dicit Dominus, in die resurrectionis meæ in futurum: quia judicium meum ut congregem gentes, et colligam regna, et effundam super eos indignationem meam, omnem iram furoris mei: in igne enim zeli mei devorabitur omnis terra.\nVerse 3:9: Quia tunc reddam populis labium electum, ut invocent omnes in nomine Domini, et serviant ei humero uno.\nVerse 3:10: Ultra flumina Æthiopiæ, inde supplices mei; filii dispersorum meorum deferent munus mihi.\nVerse 3:11: In die illa non confunderis super cunctis adinventionibus tuis, quibus prævaricata es in me, quia tunc auferam de medio tui magniloquos superbiæ tuæ, et non adjicies exaltari amplius in monte sancto meo.\nVerse 3:12: Et derelinquam in medio tui populum pauperem et egenum: et sperabunt in nomine Domini.\nVerse 3:13: Reliquiæ Israël non facient iniquitatem, nec loquentur mendacium, et non invenietur in ore eorum lingua dolosa, quoniam ipsi pascentur, et accubabunt, et non erit qui exterreat.\nVerse 3:14: Lauda, filia Sion; jubila, Israël: lætare, et exsulta in omni corde, filia Jerusalem.\nVerse 3:15: Abstulit Dominus judicium tuum; avertit inimicos tuos. Rex Israël Dominus in medio tui: non timebis malum ultra.\nVerse 3:16: In die illa dicetur Jerusalem: Noli timere; Sion: Non dissolvantur manus tuæ.\nVerse 3:17: Dominus Deus tuus in medio tui fortis, ipse salvabit: gaudebit super te in lætitia, silebit in dilectione sua, exsultabit super te in laude.\nVerse 3:18: Nugas, qui a lege recesserant, congregabo, quia ex te erant: ut non ultra habeas super eis opprobrium.\nVerse 3:19: Ecce ego interficiam omnes qui afflixerunt te in tempore illo: et salvabo claudicantem, et eam quæ ejecta fuerat congregabo: et ponam eos in laudem, et in nomen, in omni terra confusionis eorum,\nVerse 3:20: in tempore illo quo adducam vos, et in tempore quo congregabo vos. Dabo enim vos in nomen, et in laudem omnibus populis terræ, cum convertero captivitatem vestram coram oculis vestris, dicit Dominus."
