The Great Day of the Lord

“I will [a]utterly consume everything
From the face of the land,”
Says the Lord;
“I(A) will consume man and beast;
I will consume the birds of the heavens,
The fish of the sea,
And the [b]stumbling blocks along with the wicked.
I will cut off man from the face of the [c]land,”
Says the Lord.

“I will stretch out My hand against Judah,
And against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
[d]I will cut off every trace of Baal from this place,
The names of the (B)idolatrous[e] priests with the pagan priests—
Those (C)who worship the host of heaven on the housetops;
Those who worship and swear oaths by the Lord,
But who also swear (D)by [f]Milcom;
(E)Those who have turned back from following the Lord,
And (F)have not sought the Lord, nor inquired of Him.”
