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)
Zephaniah 1:4-6
Holman Christian Standard Bible
4 I will stretch out My hand(A) against Judah
and against all the residents of Jerusalem.
I will cut off every vestige of Baal(B)
from this place,
the names of the pagan priests(C)
along with the priests;
5 those who bow in worship on the rooftops(D)
to the heavenly host;
those who bow and pledge loyalty to the Lord(E)
but also pledge loyalty to Milcom;[a](F)
6 and those who turn back from following the Lord,
who do not seek the Lord or inquire of Him.
