Zephaniah 1:4-6
Legacy Standard Bible
4 “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,
5 And those who worship on the (D)housetops the host of heaven,
And those who worship and (E)swear to Yahweh and yet swear by [a](F)Milcom,
6 And those who have (G)turned back from following Yahweh,
And those who have (H)not sought Yahweh or inquired of Him.”

Zephaniah 1:4-6
Common English Bible
4 I will stretch out my hand against Judah
and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
I will eliminate what’s left of Baal from this place
and the names of the priests of foreign gods,[a]
5 those bowing down to the forces of heaven on the rooftops,
those swearing by the Lord along with those swearing by Milcom,
6 those turning away from the Lord,
those who don’t seek the Lord and don’t pursue him.
