12 This is what the Lord says:

“Though they are at full strength and so they are many,
So also they will be (A)cut off and pass away.
Though I have afflicted you,
I will afflict you (B)no longer.
13 So now, I will (C)break his yoke from upon you,
And I will tear your shackles to pieces.”

14 The Lord has issued a command concerning [a]you:
[b]Your name will (D)no longer be perpetuated.
I will eliminate the (E)carved image and the cast metal image
From the house of your gods.
I will prepare your (F)grave,
For you are contemptible.”
