The Great Day of the Lord

I will consume the birds of the heavens,
The fish of the sea,
And the1 stumbling blocks along with the wicked.
I will cut off man from the face of the1 land,”
Says the Lord.

I will cut off man from the face of the1 land,”
Says the Lord.
4 “I will stretch out My hand against Judah,
And against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
1I will cut off every trace of Baal from this place,
The names of the aidolatrous priests with the pagan priests—
And against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
1I will cut off every trace of Baal from this place,
The names of the aidolatrous priests with the pagan priests—
5 Those awho worship the host of heaven on the housetops;
Those who worship and swear oaths by the Lord,
But who also swear bby Milcom;
Those who worship and swear oaths by the Lord,
But who also swear bby Milcom;
6 aThose who have turned back from following the Lord,
And bhave not sought the Lord, nor inquired of Him.”
And bhave not sought the Lord, nor inquired of Him.”
7 aBe silent in the presence of the Lord God;
bFor the day of the Lord is at hand,
For cthe Lord has prepared a sacrifice;
He has1 invited His guests.
bFor the day of the Lord is at hand,
For cthe Lord has prepared a sacrifice;
He has1 invited His guests.
