and them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship, that swear to Jehovah and swear by Malcam;
And those who bow down and worship the host of heaven [the sun, the moon, and the stars] on their housetops And those who bow down and swear [oaths] to [and pretend to worship] the Lord and [yet also] swear by [the pagan god called] Milcom [god of the Ammonites],
