4 I will stretch out my hand against Judah and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place—the name of the idolatrous and pagan priests,
5 those who worship the army of the sky on the housetops, those who worship and swear by the LORD and also swear by Malcam,
6 those who have turned back from following the LORD, and those who haven’t sought the LORD nor inquired after him.
