Zephaniah 1:2

Judah's Impending Judgment

¹ The word of the Lord that came to Zephaniah son of Cushi, son of Gedaliah, son of Amariah, son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah. ² I will completely sweep away everything
from the face of the earth—
this is the Lord’s declaration.
³ I will sweep away man and animal;
I will sweep away the birds of the sky
and the fish of the sea,
and the ruins along with the wicked.
I will cut off mankind
from the face of the earth.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
