Zephaniah / Question
Question source
Zephaniah
Zephaniah opens with sweeping language about the LORD removing “all things” from the land. The list includes humanity, animals, birds, and fish, stressing the total scope of judgment (Zephaniah 1:2–3).
2I will utterly sweep away everything off of the surface of the earth, says Yahweh.
3I will sweep away man and animal. I will sweep away the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and the heaps of rubble with the wicked. I will cut off man from the surface of the earth, says Yahweh.
