2“I will completelyH5486 1removeH5486 allH3605 things From the faceH6440 of the 2earthH127,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.3“I will removeH5486 3manH120 and beastH929; I will removeH5486 the 4birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 And the fishH1709 of the seaH3220, And the 56ruinsH4384 alongH854 with the wickedH7563; And I will cutH3772 offH3772 manH120 from the faceH6440 of the 7earthH127,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.4“So I will 8stretchH5186 out My handH3027 againstH5921 JudahH3063 And againstH5921 allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389. And I will 9cutH3772 offH3772 the remnantH7605 of BaalH1168 from thisH2088 placeH4725, And the namesH8034 of the 10idolatrousH3649 priestsH3649 alongH5973 with the priestsH3548.5And those who bowH7812 downH7812 on the 11housetopsH1406 to the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, And those who bowH7812 downH7812 and 12swearH7650 to the LordH3068 and yet swearH7650 by 1314MilcomH4445,6And those who have 15turnedH5472 backH5472 from followingH310 the LordH3068, And those whoH834 have 16not soughtH1245 the LordH3068 or inquiredH1875 of Him.”
