0:00.0	A reading from the book of Zephaniah.
0:02.5	The word of the Lord that came to Zephaniah, the son of Cusha, son of Gethaliah, son of Amariah,
0:09.7	son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah, the son of Amen, king of Judah.
0:15.0	I will utterly sweep away everything from the face of the earth, declares the Lord.
0:19.0	I will sweep away man and beast. I will sweep away the birds of the heavens and the fish of the earth, declares the Lord. I will sweep away man and beast. I will
0:21.9	sweep away the birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea, and the rubble with the wicked. I will
0:26.4	cut off mankind from the face of the earth, declares the Lord. I will stretch out my hand against
0:31.1	Judah and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and I will cut off from this place the remnant
0:36.0	of Baal and the name of the idolatrous
0:38.2	priests along with the priests. Those who bow down on the roofs, to the host of the heavens,
0:43.7	those who bow down and swear to the Lord, and yet swear by Milcom, those who have turned back from
0:48.6	following the Lord, who do not seek the Lord or inquire of him. Be silent before the Lord God, for the day of the Lord is
0:55.7	near. The Lord has prepared a sacrifice and consecrated his guests. And on the day of the Lord's
1:01.1	sacrifice, I will punish the officials and the king's sons and all who array themselves in foreign
1:06.4	attire. On that day I will punish everyone who leaps over the threshold and those who fill their
1:11.4	master's house with violence and fraud. On that day, declares the Lord, a cry will be heard from the
1:17.1	fish gate, a whale from the second quarter, a loud crash from the hills. Whale, oh, inhabitants of the
1:23.8	mortar, for all the traitors are no more. All who weigh out silver are cut off. At that time I will
1:29.5	search Jerusalem with lamps, and I will punish the men who are complacent, those who say in their
1:34.2	hearts, the Lord will not do good, nor will he do ill. Their good shall be plundered and their houses
1:40.0	laid waste. Though they build houses, they shall not inhabit them. Though they plant vineyards,
1:44.9	they shall not drink wine from them. The great day of the Lord is near, near and hastening fast.
