⁴ “I will stretch out my hand against Judah
    and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
^(A)and I will cut off from this place the remnant of Baal
    and the name of the idolatrous priests along with the priests,
^5 (B)those who bow down on the roofs
    to the host of the heavens,
^(C)those who bow down and swear to the Lord
    and yet swear by ^(D)Milcom,^[a]
6 (E)those who have turned back from following the Lord,
    ^(F)who do not seek the Lord or inquire of him.”

⁸ And on the day of the Lord's sacrifice—
^(A)“I will punish the officials and the king's sons
    and ^(B)all who array themselves in foreign attire.
⁹ On that day I will punish
    everyone ^(C)who leaps over the threshold,
and those who fill their master's^[a] house
    with violence and fraud.

¹² At that time ^(A)I will search Jerusalem with lamps,
    and I will punish the men
^(B)who are complacent,^{[a]
    (C)}those who say in their hearts,
‘The Lord will not do good,
    nor will he do ill.’

3 Woe to her who is rebellious and defiled,
    ^(A)the oppressing city!
² She listens to no voice;
    ^(B)she accepts no correction.
^(C)She does not trust in the Lord;
    she does not draw near to her God.

^7 (A)I said, ‘Surely you will fear me;
    ^(B)you will accept correction.
Then your^[a] dwelling would not be cut off
    according to all that I have appointed against you.’^[b]
But ^(C)all the more they were eager
    to make all their deeds corrupt.
