Zephaniah 1:3-5
International Standard Version
3 “I’ll consume both human beings and animals—
I’ll consume the birds of the sky,
the fish in the sea,
and the wicked along with their sin,[a]
when I eliminate human beings from the land,”
declares the Lord.
4 “I will also stretch out my hand against Judah,
and upon all inhabitants of Jerusalem.
I’ll wipe out every trace of Baal from this place,
and the name[b] of the pagan priests[c],
along with my own[d] priests.
5 I’ll wipe out[e] those who worship the stars
that they view[f] from their housetops,
those who bow down and swear to the Lord
and who also swear by Milcom,[g]
