Zephaniah 1:3

Judah's Impending Judgment

² I will destroy (take away) (remove) (consume) everything on the face of the earth! declared Jehovah. (Zephaniah 2:3) ³ “I will remove man and beast;
I will remove the birds of the sky
And the fish of the sea,
And the ruins along with the wicked;
And I will cut off man from the face of the earth,” declares the Lord.
⁴ I will use my power against Judah and against the inhabitants of Jerusalem. I will destroy followers of Baal in this place. I will remove the names of the pagan (idolatrous) priests along with my priests.
