Zephaniah 1:4-6
World English Bible
4 I will stretch out my hand against Judah, and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place: the name of the idolatrous and pagan priests, 5 those who worship the army of the sky on the housetops, those who worship and swear by Yahweh and also swear by Malcam, 6 those who have turned back from following Yahweh, and those who haven’t sought Yahweh nor inquired after him.

4 “So I will (A)stretch out My hand against Judah
And against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
And I will (B)eliminate the remnant of Baal from this place,
And the names of the (C)idolatrous priests along with the other priests.
5 And those who bow down on the (D)housetops to the heavenly [a]lights,
And those who bow down and (E)swear to the Lord, but also swear by [b](F)Milcom,
6 And those who have (G)turned back from following the Lord,
And those who have (H)not sought the Lord nor inquired of Him.”
