## Zephaniah 1:2-3 in Context (Verses 1–6 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/zephaniah/1/1) The word of the LORD which came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah.
 
 [2 ](/kjv/zephaniah/1/2) I will utterly consume all *things* from off the land, saith the LORD.**
 
 [3 ](/kjv/zephaniah/1/3) I will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks with the wicked; and I will cut off man from off the land, saith the LORD.*
 
 [4 ](/kjv/zephaniah/1/4) I will also stretch out mine hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, *and* the name of the Chemarims with the priests;
 
 [5 ](/kjv/zephaniah/1/5) And them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship *and* that swear by the LORD, and that swear by Malcham;*
 
 [6 ](/kjv/zephaniah/1/6) And them that are turned back from the LORD; and *those* that have not sought the LORD, nor enquired for him.
