Zephaniah 1:3-7 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

3. I will destroy all the people and all the animals. I will destroy the birds in the air and the fish in the sea. I will destroy the evil people and everything that makes them sin. I will remove all people from the earth.” This is what the Lord said.

4. “I will punish Judah and the people living in Jerusalem. I will remove from this place any signs of Baal worship. No one will remember the priests who serve the idols there.

5. And those who go up on their roofs to worship the stars will be forgotten. They worship me, the Lord, but they also use the name of the false god Milcom to make promises.

6. They have turned away from me, the Lord. They have stopped following me. They no longer ask me, the Lord, for help.”

7. Be silent before the Lord GOD, because the Lord’S day for judging the people is coming soon. The Lord has prepared his sacrifice, and he has told his invited guests to get ready.
