Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for the Bible Recap.

0:13.1

Today we finished our 24th book of the Bible, it's written by a minor prophet Zephaniah

0:18.5

who is the great, great grandson of Judah's King Hezekiah, and because he's a descendant

1:28.2

They think God won't really do anything about their actions, so they carelessly live
