“And those who bow down on the (A)housetops to the host of heaven,
And those who bow down and (B)swear to the Lord and yet swear by [a](C)Milcom,
And those who have (D)turned back from following the Lord,
And those who have (E)not sought the Lord or inquired of Him.”

[b](F)Be silent before the Lord [c]God!
For the (G)day of the Lord is near,
For the Lord has prepared a (H)sacrifice,
He has (I)consecrated His guests.
