Zephaniah 1:5-7
Easy-to-Read Version
5 And those who go up on their roofs to worship the stars[a] will be forgotten. They worship me, the Lord, but they also use the name of the false god Milcom to make promises. 6 They have turned away from me, the Lord. They have stopped following me. They no longer ask me, the Lord, for help.”
7 Be silent before the Lord God, because the Lord’s day for judging the people is coming soon. The Lord has prepared his sacrifice, and he has told his invited guests to get ready.[b]
