The Great Day of the Lord
2 I will completely sweep away everything
from the face of the earth 1:2 Gn 6:7; 7:4 —
this is the Lord’s declaration.
3 I will sweep away people and animals; 1:3 1Kg 14:10; Ezk 14:17
I will sweep away the birds of the sky
and the fish of the sea,
and the ruins 1:3 Perhaps objects connected with idolatry along with the wicked. 1:3 Is 13:9–12; Mt 13:41
I will cut off mankind
from the face of the earth.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
