“So I will (A)stretch out My hand against Judah
And against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
And I will (B)cut off the remnant of Baal from this place,
And the names of the (C)idolatrous priests along with the priests.
“And those who bow down on the (D)housetops to the host of heaven,
And those who bow down and (E)swear to the Lord and yet swear by [a](F)Milcom,
And those who have (G)turned back from following the Lord,
And those who have (H)not sought the Lord or inquired of Him.”

“I will stretch out my hand(A) against Judah
    and against all who live in Jerusalem.
I will destroy every remnant of Baal worship in this place,(B)
    the very names of the idolatrous priests(C)
those who bow down on the roofs
    to worship the starry host,(D)
those who bow down and swear by the Lord
    and who also swear by Molek,[a](E)
those who turn back from following(F) the Lord
    and neither seek(G) the Lord nor inquire(H) of him.”
