1 The word of the Lord which came to Zephaniah son of Cushi, son of Gedaliah, son of Amariah, son of Hezekiah, in the days of aJosiah son of bAmon, king of Judah:

2 “I will completely aremove all things

From the face of the 1earth,” declares the Lord.

3 “I will remove aman and beast;

I will remove the bbirds of the sky

And the fish of the sea,

And the 1cruins along with the wicked;

And I will cut off man from the face of the 2earth,” declares the Lord.

4 “So I will astretch out My hand against Judah

And against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

And I will bcut off the remnant of Baal from this place,

And the names of the cidolatrous priests along with the priests.

5 “And those who bow down on the ahousetops to the host of heaven,

And those who bow down and bswear to the Lord and yet swear by 1cMilcom,

6 And those who have aturned back from following the Lord,

And those who have bnot sought the Lord or inquired of Him.”
