⁹ Therefore by this ^(A)the guilt of Jacob will be atoned for,
    and this will be the full fruit of the removal of his sin:^[a]
(B)when he makes all the stones of the altars
    like chalkstones crushed to pieces,
    no ^(C)Asherim or incense altars will remain standing.

¹³ and ^(A)I will cut off your carved images
    and ^(B)your pillars from among you,
^(C)and you shall bow down no more
    to the work of your hands;
¹⁴ and I will root out your ^(D)Asherah images from among you
    ^(E)and destroy your cities.

⁸ Their land is ^(A)filled with idols;
    they bow down to ^(B)the work of their hands,
    to what their own fingers have made.

³ “I will sweep away ^(A)man and beast;
    I will sweep away the birds of the heavens
    and ^(B)the fish of the sea,
and ^(C)the rubble^[a] with the wicked.
    I will ^(D)cut off mankind
    from the face of the earth,” declares the Lord.

13 When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling;
    ^(A)he was exalted in Israel,
    but he incurred guilt ^(B)through Baal and died.
² And now they sin more and more,
    and ^(C)make for themselves metal images,
idols skillfully made of their silver,
    ^(D)all of them the work of craftsmen.
It is said of them,
    “Those who offer human sacrifice ^(E)kiss calves!”
