Though once they were a healthy and numerous force,

I have afflicted you;
        I won’t afflict you further, Zion.[a]
13 Now I will break off his yoke from you
        and tear off your chains.

    I will remove carved idol and cast image from the house of your gods;
        I will make your grave, for you are worthless.
