The Prophecy of Sophoniah.
The first Chapiter.
All liuing things the Lord wil stroy,with man for his offence:
And Iuda and Hierusalem,
should haue their recompence.
A woful ruine wil he make,
for halting in their faith:
Their strength, their goods, shuld not thē help
but perishe they should he saith
The ii. Chapiter.
Before his wrath doo come in deed,he wilth them to repent:
for sin it should be rent.
The Moabites the Ammonites,
for ioying Israels fall,
With Morians and Niniuites,
should be destroyed all.
The iii. Chapiter.
Corrupted were the Iudges all,the preestes and Prophets vain:
Not one would mend what so was said,
nor turn to God again.
The Gentiles shall conuerted be,
the remnant of his flock
Shall turn again and liue in peace,
and be a faithful stock.
FINIS.
Sophoniah thus he hath said,
as God did wil him speak:
Now Haggay with his mouth vnclosde,
his minde to you shall break.
as God did wil him speak:
Now Haggay with his mouth vnclosde,
his minde to you shall break.
