Zephaniah 1:5 in Context — Zephaniah 1

3 Je détruirai les hommes et les bêtes, Les oiseaux du ciel et les poissons de la mer, Les objets de scandale, et les méchants avec eux; J’exterminerai les hommes de la face de la terre, Dit l’Éternel.

4 J’étendrai ma main sur Juda, Et sur tous les habitants de Jérusalem; J’exterminerai de ce lieu les restes de Baal, Le nom de ses ministres et les prêtres avec eux,

5 Ceux qui se prosternent sur les toits devant l’armée des cieux, Ceux qui se prosternent en jurant par l’Éternel Et en jurant par leur roi,

6 Ceux qui se sont détournés de l’Éternel, Et ceux qui ne cherchent pas l’Éternel, Qui ne le consultent pas.

7 Silence devant le Seigneur, l’Éternel! Car le jour de l’Éternel est proche, Car l’Éternel a préparé le sacrifice, Il a choisi ses conviés.
