“I will stretch out My hand against Judah,
And against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
[a]I will cut off every trace of Baal from this place,
The names of the (A)idolatrous[b] priests with the pagan priests—
Those (B)who worship the host of heaven on the housetops;
Those who worship and swear oaths by the Lord,
But who also swear (C)by [c]Milcom;
(D)Those who have turned back from following the Lord,
And (E)have not sought the Lord, nor inquired of Him.”

I will also stretch out mine hand upon Judah,
and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place,
and the name of the Chemarims with the priests;
and them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops;
and them that worship and that swear by the Lord,
and that swear by Malcham;
and them that are turned back from the Lord;
and those that have not sought the Lord, nor enquired for him.
