12 Thus says the Lord,

“Though they are at full strength and likewise many,
Even so, 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 bar from upon you,
And I will tear off your shackles.”

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