Zephaniah 1:4-7 English Standard Version (ESV)

4. “I will stretch out my hand against Judahand against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off from this place the remnant of Baaland the name of the idolatrous priests along with the priests,

5. those who bow down on the roofsto the host of the heavens, those who bow down and swear to the Lordand yet swear by Milcom,

6. those who have turned back from following the Lord, who do not seek the Lord or inquire of him.”

7. Be silent before the Lord God!For the day of the Lord is near; the Lord has prepared a sacrificeand consecrated his guests.
