Therefore Jacob’s iniquity(A) will be atoned for in this way,
and the result of the removal of his sin will be this:(B)
when he makes all the altar stones
like crushed bits of chalk,
no Asherah poles or incense altars will remain standing.
10 For the fortified city will be desolate,
pastures deserted and abandoned like a wilderness.
Calves will graze there,
and there they will spread out and strip its branches.
11 When its branches dry out, they will be broken off.
Women will come and make fires with them,
for they are not a people with understanding.(C)
Therefore their Maker(D) will not have compassion on them,
and their Creator will not be gracious to them.
