14 The Lord has given a command concerning you:
    “No longer will your name go forth.
I will cut off the carved image and metal image
    from the house of your gods.
I will prepare your grave,
    for you are despised.”

15 Look, on the mountains
    come the feet of him who brings good news,
    who proclaims peace!
Make your feasts, O Judah,
    and complete your vows.
For the wicked one will never again pass through your midst;
    he is completely cut down.
