Zephaniah 1:2-6

NSB(i) 2 »I will destroy (take away) (remove) (consume) everything on the face of the earth!« declared Jehovah. (Zephaniah 2:3) 3 »I will terminate both man and beast. I will put an end to the birds of the sky and the fish of the sea. I will eliminate the sins that make people fall, together with the sinners. I will remove people from the face of the earth,« declared Jehovah. 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. 5 »I will remove those who bow down to worship the host of heaven on the housetops and those who bow down and swear to Jehovah and yet swear by Malcolm. 6 »The same for those who have turned back from following Jehovah, and those who have not sought Jehovah or inquired of Him.«
