Zephaniah 1:4-6
International Standard Version
4 “I will also stretch out my hand against Judah,
and upon all inhabitants of Jerusalem.
I’ll wipe out every trace of Baal from this place,
and the name[a] of the pagan priests[b],
along with my own[c] priests.
5 I’ll wipe out[d] those who worship the stars
that they view[e] from their housetops,
those who bow down and swear to the Lord
and who also swear by Milcom,[f]
6 those who turn away from the Lord,
don’t seek the Lord,
and never ask for his help.[g]”
