Zephaniah 1:2-6
Holman Christian Standard Bible
The Great Day of the Lord
2 I will completely sweep away everything
from the face of the earth(A)—
this is the Lord’s declaration.
3 I will sweep away man and animal;(B)
I will sweep away the birds of the sky
and the fish of the sea,
and the ruins[a] along with the wicked.(C)
I will cut off mankind
from the face of the earth.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
4 I will stretch out My hand(D) against Judah
and against all the residents of Jerusalem.
I will cut off every vestige of Baal(E)
from this place,
the names of the pagan priests(F)
along with the priests;
5 those who bow in worship on the rooftops(G)
to the heavenly host;
those who bow and pledge loyalty to the Lord(H)
but also pledge loyalty to Milcom;[b](I)
6 and those who turn back from following the Lord,
who do not seek the Lord or inquire of Him.
