Zephaniah 1:1-2
EasyEnglish Bible

The Lord will destroy Judah

1 This is the Lord's message, which he gave to Zephaniah, Cushi's son.[a] Cushi's father was Gedaliah. Gedaliah's father was Amariah, and Amariah's father was Hezekiah. The Lord gave this message to Zephaniah when Josiah was king. Josiah was the son of Amon, who was the king of Judah.

2 ‘It is the Lord who is speaking now.

I will remove everything from the ground.

Footnotes

  1. 1:1 When we write Lord like this, it is a special name for God. Sometimes people write it as ‘Yahweh’, or as ‘Jehovah’. It is his own name that he told Moses. See Exodus 3:14. It means ‘I am who I am’. This shows that God has always been there and he always will be there.
