·Israel [L He] will crush the rocks of the altar [C pagan altars] to dust,
    and no ·Asherah idols [L Asherahs; C sacred trees or poles dedicated to the goddess Asherah] or ·altars [incense altars] will be left standing.

    to be like limestone crushed to pieces,
no Asherah poles[a](D) or incense altars(E)
    will be left standing.
