Zephaniah 1:2-4

New Life Version

The Day of the Lord Is Near

² “I will take away everything from the earth,” says the Lord. ³ “I will take away man and animal. I will take away the birds of the sky and the fish of the sea. I will destroy the sinful. And I will take man from off the earth,” says the Lord. ⁴ “I will put out My hand against Judah and against all the people of Jerusalem. I will destroy from this place the rest of the people who worship Baal, and the names of the religious leaders who worship false gods.
