Zephaniah 1:4-6
New Living Translation
4 “I will crush Judah and Jerusalem with my fist
and destroy every last trace of their Baal worship.
I will put an end to all the idolatrous priests,
so that even the memory of them will disappear.
5 For they go up to their roofs
and bow down to the sun, moon, and stars.
They claim to follow the Lord,
but then they worship Molech,[a] too.
6 And I will destroy those who used to worship me
but now no longer do.
They no longer ask for the Lord’s guidance
or seek my blessings.”
Notas al pie
- 1:5 Hebrew Malcam, a variant spelling of Molech; or it could possibly mean their king.
Zephaniah 1:4-6
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
4 I will stretch out my hand against Judah
and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
and I will cut off from this place every remnant of Baal
and the name of the idolatrous priests,[a](A)
5 those who bow down on the roofs
to the host of the heavens,
those who bow down and swear to the Lord
but also swear by Milcom,[b](B)
6 those who have turned back from following the Lord,
who have not sought the Lord or inquired of him.(C)
