Hinayaan ni Yahweh na mabihag ang kanyang bayan bilang parusa;
    tinangay sila ng malakas na hangin buhat sa silangan.
Patatawarin lang sila kung wawasakin nila ang mga altar
    at itatapon ang larawan ng diyus-diyosang si Ashera,
    at dudurugin ang altar na sunugan ng insenso.
10 Wasak na ang lunsod na siyang tanggulan,
    para itong disyerto na walang nakatira,
at ginawang pastulan na lamang ng mga baka.

By warfare[a] and exile(A) you contend with her—
    with his fierce blast he drives her out,
    as on a day the east wind(B) blows.
By this, then, will Jacob’s guilt be atoned(C) for,
    and this will be the full fruit of the removal of his sin:(D)
When he makes all the altar stones(E)
    to be like limestone crushed to pieces,
no Asherah poles[b](F) or incense altars(G)
    will be left standing.
10 The fortified city stands desolate,(H)
    an abandoned settlement, forsaken(I) like the wilderness;
there the calves graze,(J)
    there they lie down;(K)
    they strip its branches bare.
