Zephaniah 1:5-7
International Standard Version
5 I’ll wipe out[a] those who worship the stars
that they view[b] from their housetops,
those who bow down and swear to the Lord
and who also swear by Milcom,[c]
6 those who turn away from the Lord,
don’t seek the Lord,
and never ask for his help.[d]”
The Approaching Day of the Lord
7 Remain silent in the presence of the Lord God,
because the Day of the Lord approaches,
and because the Lord has prepared a sacrifice
for those whom he has invited to be consecrated.
