Zephaniah 1:1-3
The Message

No Longer Giving God a Thought or a Prayer

1 God’s Message to Zephaniah son of Cushi, son of Gedaliah, son of Amariah, son of Hezekiah. It came during the reign of Josiah son of Amon, who was king of Judah:

2 “I’m going to make a clean sweep of the earth,
    a thorough housecleaning.” God’s Decree.

3 “Men and women and animals,
    including birds and fish—
Anything and everything that causes sin—will go,
    but especially people.
