I will cut off humanity
from the face of the earth, says the Lord.

but also swear by Milcom,
6 Isa 1.4; 9.13; Jer 2.13; Hos 7.7 those who have turned back from following the Lord,
who have not sought the Lord or inquired of him.
7 v 14 ; Isa 13.6; 34.6; Jer 46.10; Hab 2.20; Zech 2.13Be silent before the Lord God,
for the day of the Lord is at hand!
The Lord has prepared a sacrifice;
he has consecrated his guests.
8 Isa 2.6; 24.21; Jer 39.6 And on the day of the Lord’s sacrifice
I will punish the officials and the king’s sons
and all who dress themselves in foreign attire.
9 Jer 5.27; Am 3.10 On that day I will punish
all who leap over the threshold,
who fill their master’s house
with violence and fraud.
10 2 Chr 33.14; 34.22; Ezek 6.13; Am 8.3 On that day, says the Lord,
a cry will be heard from the Fish Gate,
a wail from the Second Quarter,
a loud crash from the hills.
11The inhabitants of the Mortar wail,
for all the traders have perished;
all who weigh out silver are cut off.
12 Jer 16.16, 17; 48.11; Ezek 8.12; 9.9; Am 6.1 At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps,
and I will punish the people
who settle like dregs in wine,
those who say in their hearts,
“The Lord will not do good,
nor will he do harm.”
13 Deut 28.30, 39; Am 5.11; Mic 6.15 Their wealth shall be plundered
and their houses laid waste.
Though they build houses,
they shall not inhabit them;
though they plant vineyards,
they shall not drink wine from them.
The Great Day of the Lord14 Joel 2.1, 11 The great day of the Lord is near,
near and hastening fast;
the sound of the day of the Lord is bitter;
the warrior cries aloud there.
15 Isa 22.5; Jer 30.7; Am 5.18–20 That day will be a day of wrath,
a day of distress and anguish,
a day of ruin and devastation,
a day of darkness and gloom,
a day of clouds and thick darkness,
16a day of trumpet blast and battle cry
against the fortified cities
and against the lofty battlements.
17 Ps 79.3; Isa 59.10; Jer 9.22; 10.18 I will bring such distress upon people
that they shall walk like the blind;
because they have sinned against the Lord,
their blood shall be poured out like dust
and their flesh like dung.
18 vv 2, 3 ; Prov 11.4; Zeph 3.8Neither their silver nor their gold
will be able to save them
on the day of the Lord’s wrath;
in the fire of his passion
the whole earth shall be consumed,
for a full, a terrible end
he will make of all the inhabitants of the earth.
