1I will cut off every trace of Baal from this place,
The names of the aidolatrous priests with the pagan priests—
5 Those awho worship the host of heaven on the housetops;
Those who worship and swear oaths by the Lord,
But who also swear bby Milcom;

And bhave not sought the Lord, nor inquired of Him.”

That I will punish athe princes and the king’s children,
And all such as are clothed with foreign apparel.

That I will punish athe princes and the king’s children,
And all such as are clothed with foreign apparel.
