I’ll wipe out[a] those who worship the stars
    that they view[b] from their housetops,
those who bow down and swear to the Lord
    and who also swear by Milcom,[c]
those who turn away from the Lord,
    don’t seek the Lord,
        and never ask for his help.[d]

    because the Day of the Lord approaches,
and because the Lord has prepared a sacrifice
    for those whom he has invited to be consecrated.
