Zephaniah 1:4New Messianic Version BibleI will also stretch out my hand upon Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], and upon all the inhabitants of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]; and I will cut off the remnant of Ba’al [lord (a false god)] from this place, [and] the name of the idolatrous with the priests; See the chapter |
And they broke down the altars of Ba’alim [lords (false gods)] in his presence; and the images, that [were] on high above them, he cut down; and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images, he broke in pieces, and made dust [of them], and strewed [it] upon the graves of them that had sacrificed unto them.
Behold, therefore I will stretch out my hand upon youi, and will deliver youi for a spoil (plunder; prey; booty) to the heathen; and I will cut youi off from the people, and I will cause youi to perish out of the countries: I will destroy youi; and youi shall know that I [am] the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
And the altars that [were] on the top of the upper chamber of Achaz [he has grasped], which the kings of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] had made, and the altars which M’nasheh [Causing to Forget] had made in the two courts of the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), did the king beat down, and broke [them] down from there, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron [dark].
