Zephaniah 1:4-6
New Century Version
The Future of Judah
4 “I will punish Judah
and all the people living in Jerusalem.
I will remove from this place
all signs of Baal, the false priests, and the other priests.
5 I will destroy those who worship
the stars from the roofs,[a]
and those who worship and make promises
by both the Lord and the god Molech,
6 and those who turned away from the Lord,
and those who quit following the Lord and praying to him for direction.
Footnotes
- 1:5 roofs In Bible times houses were built with flat roofs. The roof was used for drying things such as flax and fruit. And it was used as an extra room, as a place for worship, and as a cool place to sleep in the summer.
