But thus shall you deal with them: you shall break down their altars and dash in pieces their pillars and chop down their Asherim and burn their carved images with fire.

Thus you shall do to all the cities that are very far from you, which are not cities of the nations here.

all the nations will say, ‘Why has the Lord done thus to this land? What caused the heat of this great anger?’

Do you thus repay the Lord, you foolish and senseless people? Is not he your father, who created you, who made you and established you?

Thus the Lord became king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people were gathered, all the tribes of Israel together.
