“‘I will utterly sweep away
Everything
From the face
Of the earth.’
Says Yahweh.
‘I will sweep away
Humans.
I will sweep away
Animals.
I will sweep away
The birds of the air.
I will sweep away
The fish of the sea.
I will make the wicked
Stumble.
I will cut off
Humanity
From the face of the earth.’
Says Yahweh.”
Yahweh said that he was going to undo his creation. He was going to sweep away everything on the face of the earth. He was going to do away with all humans and animals, as well as all the birds in the air and the fish in the sea. The wicked would stumble, as all humanity would be wiped out.
