3 I will sweep away human being and beast alike,I will sweep away the birds of the sky,and the fish of the sea.I will make the wicked stumble;I will eliminate the peoplefrom the face of the land—oracle of the Lord.
4 I will stretch out my hand against Judah,and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem;I will eliminate from this placethe last vestige of Baal,the name of the idolatrous priests.
5 And those who bow down on the roofsto the host of heaven,And those who bow down to the Lordbut swear by Milcom;
6 And those who have turned away from the Lord,and those who have not sought the Lord,who have not inquired of him.
7 Silence in the presence of the Lord God!for near is the day of the Lord,Yes, the Lord has prepared a sacrifice,he has consecrated his guests.
8 On the day of the Lord’s sacrificeI will punish the officials and the king’s sons,and all who dress in foreign apparel.
9 I will punish, on that day,all who leap over the threshold,Who fill the house of their masterwith violence and deceit.
