Those (A)who worship the host of heaven on the housetops;
Those who worship and swear oaths by the Lord,
But who also swear (B)by [a]Milcom;
(C)Those who have turned back from following the Lord,
And (D)have not sought the Lord, nor inquired of Him.”

(E)Be silent in the presence of the Lord God;
(F)For the day of the Lord is at hand,
For (G)the Lord has prepared a sacrifice;
He has [b]invited His guests.
