Zephaniah 1:2-6 (NKJV) 2  “I will utterly consume everything From the face of the land,” Says the LORD; 3  “I will consume man and beast; I will consume the birds of the heavens, The fish of the sea, And the stumbling blocks along with the wicked. I will cut off man from the face of the land,” Says the LORD. 4  “I will stretch out My hand against Judah, And against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. I will cut off every trace of Baal from this place, The names of the idolatrous priests with the pagan priests– 5  Those who worship the host of heaven on the housetops; Those who worship and swear oaths by the LORD, But who also swear by Milcom [also known as Molech]; 6  Those who have turned back from following the LORD, And have not sought the LORD, nor inquired of Him.”

Zephaniah 1:5 (CEV) 5  Not a trace will be found of those who worship stars from their rooftops, or bow down to the god Milcom, while claiming loyalty to me, the LORD.
