Zephaniah 1:5 in Context — Zephaniah 1

3 Destruirei as pessoas e os animais; destruirei as aves do céu, e os peixes do mar, e as pedras de tropeço com os perversos; e exterminarei os seres humanos de sobre a face da terra,diz o SENHOR.

4 E estenderei minha mão contra Judá, e contra todos os moradores de Jerusalém; e exterminarei deste lugar o restante de Baal, [e] o nome dos idólatras com os sacerdotes;

5 E os que se encurvam sobre os terraços ao exército do céu; e aos que se encurvam jurando pelo SENHOR, mas também jurando por Milcom;

6 E aos que dão as costas ao SENHOR, aos que não buscam ao SENHOR, nem perguntam por ele.

7 Cala-te na presença do Senhor DEUS, porque o dia do SENHOR está perto; porque o SENHOR tem preparado um sacrifício, [e] santificou a seus convidados.
