10 In that day—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
I will remove your horses from you(A)
and wreck your chariots.
11 I will remove the cities of your land(B)
and tear down all your fortresses.(C)
12 I will remove sorceries from your hands,(D)
and you will not have any more fortune-tellers.
13 I will remove your carved images(E)
and sacred pillars from you
so that you will not bow down again
to the work of your hands.
14 I will pull up the Asherah poles(F) from among you(G)
and demolish your cities.[a]
15 I will take vengeance in anger and wrath(H)
against the nations that have not obeyed Me.
