Zephaniah 1:2-6
2
Warning of Coming Destruction
“I will sweep away everything
from the face of the earth,”
declares the Lord.
3
“I will sweep away both men and animals;
I will sweep away the birds of the air
and the fish of the sea.
The wicked will have only heaps of rubble
when I cut off man from the face of the earth,”
declares the Lord.
4
Against Judah
“I will stretch out my hand against Judah
and against all who live in Jerusalem.
I will cut off from this place every remnant of Baal,
the names of the pagan and the idolatrous priests—
5
those who bow down on the roofs
to worship the starry host,
those who bow down and swear by the Lord
and who also swear by Molech,
6
those who turn back from following the Lord
and neither seek the Lord nor inquire of him.
