Zephaniah 1:4-6
New American Standard Bible
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.”
