3 I will destroy humanity and the beasts;I will destroy the birds in the sky and the fish in the sea.I will make the wicked into a heap of ruins;I will eliminate humanity from the earth, says the Lord.
4 I will stretch out my hand against Judahand against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem.I will eliminate what’s left of Baal from this placeand the names of the priests of foreign gods,
5 those bowing down to the forces of heaven on the rooftops,those swearing by the Lord along with those swearing by Milcom,
6 those turning away from the Lord, those who don’t seek the Lord and don’t pursue him.
7 Hush before the Lord God,for the day of the Lord is near!The Lord has established a sacrifice;he has made holy those he has summoned.
8 On the day of the Lord’s sacrifice,I will punish the princes, the king’s sons,and all those wearing foreign clothes.
9 I will punish the one leaping on the threshold on that day,those filling the house of their master with violence and deceit.
