Zephaniah 1:1-6
1This is the word of the LORD that came to Zephaniah son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah:
2“I will completely sweep awayeverything from the face of the earth,”declares the LORD.3“I will sweep away man and beast;I will sweep away the birds of the air,and the fish of the sea,and the idols with their wicked worshipers.1I will cut off mankindfrom the face of the earth,”declares the LORD.4“I will stretch out My hand against Judahand against all who dwell in Jerusalem.I will cut off from this place every remnant of Baal,the names of the idolatrous and pagan priests—5those who bow on the rooftopsto worship the host of heaven,those who bow down and swear by the LORDbut also swear by Milcom,26and those who turn backfrom following the LORD,neither seeking the LORDnor inquiring of Him.”
