Bible (ASV) 36: Zephaniah

The Book of Zephaniah is a prophetic text attributed to Zephaniah, a descendant of King Hezekiah, written during the reign of King Josiah of Judah. It addresses themes of judgment and restoration, condemning various nations, including the Cushites, for their transgressions. Notably, the book emphasizes Zephaniah's Hebrew lineage, which serves to legitimize his prophetic authority. This text is part of the American Standard Version (ASV) of the Bible.
