Though they be
in

will
now break their
yoke from your
neck
and tear
away
your shackles
. ”

LORD
has issued
a
command

idol
from
the house
of
your
gods;
I will prepare
your grave, for you are contemptible
. ”
Yahweh
has commanded
concerning you: "
No more
descendants will
bear
your name. Out
of
the
house
of
your
gods,
will I
cut off the engraved
image and the molten
image.
I will make
your grave, for you are vile
. "

the feet of one
who brings good news, who proclaims
peace! Celebrate
your feasts, O
Judah ;
fulfill
your vows .
For the wicked will never
again
march
through you ;
they
will
be
utterly cut off.
Behold,
on

who brings good news, who publishes
peace! Keep
your feasts, Judah !
Perform
your vows ,

will no
more
pass
through you .
He
is
utterly cut off.
