Bible Expert: Well, it tells us about the purification of the land. God says that he will purify the land from false prophets and idols. He will also cleanse the land from wickedness.

Joe: Wow, that’s a pretty strong message. What does it mean to “purify” the land?

Joe: Interesting. So, what else does this chapter say?

Bible Expert: It also talks about God’s judgment on the wicked. He will punish them for their wickedness and bring destruction upon them.

Joe: That’s intense. How will God bring destruction upon them?

Bible Expert: He will send the sword to punish them and bring destruction. He will also scatter them among the nations.

Joe: Wow! That sounds serious. Are there any other things that God promises in this chapter?

Bible Expert: Yes. God promises to provide a refuge for the remnant of his people. He will also pour out his spirit on them and give them a new heart.

Joe: That’s incredible! So, to summarize: God will purify the land from false prophets and idols and bring destruction upon the wicked. He will also provide a refuge for the remnant of his people and pour out his spirit on them. Is that right?
