Zephaniah 1:4-6 CEV I will reach out to punish Judah and Jerusalem-- nothing will remain of the god Baal; nothing will be remembered of his pagan priests. (5) Not a trace will be found of those who worship stars from their rooftops, or bow down to the god Milcom, while claiming loyalty to me, the LORD. (6) Nothing will remain of anyone who has turned away and rejected me.
Zephaniah 1:4-6 GNB "I will punish the people of Jerusalem and of all Judah. I will destroy the last trace of the worship of Baal there, and no one will even remember the pagan priests who serve him. (5) I will destroy anyone who goes up on the roof and worships the sun, the moon, and the stars. I will also destroy those who worship me and swear loyalty to me, but then take oaths in the name of the god Molech. (6) I will destroy those who have turned back and no longer follow me, those who do not come to me or ask me to guide them."
Zephaniah 1:4-6 BBE And my hand will be stretched out on Judah and on all the people of Jerusalem, cutting off the name of the Baal from this place, and the name of the false priests, (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.
Zephaniah 1:4-6 ESV "I will stretch out my hand against Judah and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off from this place the remnant of Baal and the name of the idolatrous priests along with the priests, (5) those who bow down on the roofs to the host of the heavens, those who bow down and swear to the LORD and yet swear by Milcom, (6) those who have turned back from following the LORD, who do not seek the LORD or inquire of him."

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
