The LORD’s word to Zephaniah son of Cushi in the days of Josiah king of Judah

유다 왕 요시아 때 구시의 아들 스바냐에게 임한 여호와의 말씀

Zephaniah 1:1–6: the heading reads, “The LORD’s word which came to Zephaniah, the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah, the son of Amon, king of Judah.” “I will utterly sweep away everything from the surface of the earth,” says the LORD. “I will sweep away man and animal. I will sweep away the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and the heaps of rubble with the wicked. I will cut off man from the surface of the earth,” says the LORD. “I will stretch out my hand against Judah and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place—the name of the idolatrous and pagan priests, those who worship the army of the sky on the housetops, those who worship and swear by the LORD and also swear by Malcam, those who have turned back from following the LORD, and those who haven’t sought the LORD nor inquired after him.” WEB sets no quotation marks in 1:2–6. The Korean Revised Version gives 1:1 in another order: first the days of Josiah son of Amon (아몬의 아들 유다 왕 요시아의 시대에 스바냐에게 임한 여호와의 말씀이라), then, in a sentence of its own, Zephaniah’s forebears from Hezekiah down (스바냐는 히스기야의 현손이요 아마랴의 증손이요 그다랴의 손자요 구시의 아들이었더라). It opens 1:2 with 여호와께서 가라사대, the LORD said, and at 1:4 reads 그마림이란 이름과 및 그 제사장들, the name of the 그마림 and the priests, where WEB reads “the name of the idolatrous and pagan priests”.
