2“I will completelyH5486 1removeH5486 allH3605 things From the faceH6440 of the 2earthH127,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.3“I will removeH5486 3humanH120 and animalH929 life; I will removeH5486 the 4birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 And the fishH1709 of the seaH3220, And the 5 6ruinsH4384 alongH854 with the wickedH7563; And I will eliminateH3772 mankindH120 from the faceH6440 of the 7earthH127,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.4“So I will 8stretchH5186 outH5186 My handH3027 againstH5921 JudahH3063 And againstH5921 allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389. And I will 9eliminateH3772 the remnantH7605 of BaalH1168 from thisH2088 placeH4725, And the namesH8034 of the 10idolatrousH3649 priestsH3649 alongH5973 withH5973 the other priestsH3548.5And those who bowH2331 downH2331 on the 11housetopsH1406 to the heavenlyH8064 12lightsH6635, And those who bowH2331 downH2331 and 13swearH7650 to the LordH3068, but also swearH7650 by 14 15MilcomH4445,6And those who have 16turnedH5472 backH5472 from followingH310 the LordH3068, And those whoH834 have 17not soughtH1245 the LordH3068 norH3808 inquiredH1875 of Him.”

7 18 19Be silentH2013 beforeH4480 H6440 the LordH136 20GodH3068!
