Zephaniah 1:6

Judah's Impending Judgment

⁵ And the worshippers of the army of heaven on the house-tops, and the Lord's worshippers who take oaths by Milcom, ⁶ And those who are turned back from going after the Lord, and those who have not made prayer to the Lord or got directions from him. ⁷ Let there be no sound before the Lord God: for the day of the Lord is near: for the Lord has made ready an offering, he has made his guests holy.
