Zephaniah 1:4-7
4“So I will 1stretch out My hand against Judah And against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And I will 2eliminate the remnant of Baal from this place, And the names of the 3idolatrous priests along with the other priests.5And those who bow down on the 4housetops to the heavenly 5lights, And those who bow down and 6swear to the Lord, but also swear by 78Milcom,6And those who have 9turned back from following the Lord, And those who have 10not sought the Lord nor inquired of Him.”
71112Be silent before the Lord 13God! For the 14day of the Lord is near, Because the Lord has prepared a 15sacrifice, He has 16consecrated His guests.
