⁶ And he brought out the ^(A)wooden^[a] image from the house of the Lord, to the Brook Kidron outside Jerusalem, burned it at the Brook Kidron and ground it to ^(B)ashes, and threw its ashes on ^(C)the graves of the common people.

¹² The altars that were ^(A)on the roof, the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which ^(B)Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the Lord, the king broke down and pulverized there, and threw their dust into the Brook Kidron.

²⁹ And the Chaldeans who fight against this city shall come and ^(A)set fire to this city and burn it, with the houses ^(B)on whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal and poured out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke Me to anger;
