Zephaniah 1:4-6
Good News Translation
4 “I will punish the people of Jerusalem and of all Judah. I will destroy the last trace of the worship of Baal there, and no one will even remember the pagan priests who serve him. 5 I will destroy anyone who goes up on the roof and worships the sun, the moon, and the stars. I will also destroy those who worship me and swear loyalty to me, but then take oaths in the name of the god Molech. 6 I will destroy those who have turned back and no longer follow me, those who do not come to me or ask me to guide them.”

New International Version
4 “I will stretch out my hand(A) against Judah
and against all who live in Jerusalem.
I will destroy every remnant of Baal worship in this place,(B)
the very names of the idolatrous priests(C)—
5 those who bow down on the roofs
to worship the starry host,(D)
those who bow down and swear by the Lord
and who also swear by Molek,[a](E)
6 those who turn back from following(F) the Lord
and neither seek(G) the Lord nor inquire(H) of him.”
