Zephaniah 1:4-7 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

4. “And I will stretch out my hand against Judah and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And I will cut off from this place the remnant of Baal, and the name of idolatrous priests with the priests,

5. and those who bow down on the rooftops to the host of heaven, and those who bow down, swearing to Yahweh but also swearing by Milkom,

6. and those who turned back from following Yahweh, and who did not seek Yahweh, and did not inquire of him.”

7. Be silent before the Lord Yahweh, for the day of Yahweh draws near, for Yahweh has provided a sacrifice and has consecrated his guests.
