    from the face of the earth,” declares the Lord.
“I will stretch out my hand against Judah
    and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
(E)and I will cut off from this place the remnant of Baal
    and the name of the idolatrous priests along with the priests,

    to the host of the heavens,
(G)those who bow down and swear to the Lord
    and yet swear by (H)Milcom,[b]
