⁴ “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)—
⁵ 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)
6 those who turn back from following^(F) the Lord
    and neither seek^(G) the Lord nor inquire^(H) of him.”

¹⁴ The great day of the Lord^(A) is near^(B)—
    near and coming quickly.
The cry on the day of the Lord is bitter;
    the Mighty Warrior shouts his battle cry.
¹⁵ That day will be a day of wrath—
    a day of distress and anguish,
        a day of trouble and ruin,
    a day of darkness^(C) and gloom,
        a day of clouds and blackness^(D)—
¹⁶     a day of trumpet and battle cry^(E)
against the fortified cities
    and against the corner towers.^(F)
