The Lord Will Judge Judah

“I will use my power against Judah
    and against those who live in Jerusalem.
    I will remove the faithful few of Baal from this place
    and the names of the pagan priests along with my priests.
I will remove those who worship all the stars in the sky on their rooftops
    and those who worship by swearing loyalty to Yahweh
        while also swearing loyalty to the god Milcom.[a]
I will remove those who have turned away from following Yahweh
    and those who no longer seek Yahweh or ask him for help.”

    and who also swear by Molek,[a](E)

    and neither seek(G) the Lord nor inquire(H) of him.”
