Yahweh Will Deliver Judah and Destroy Nineveh

12 Yahweh says this:

“Even though they are powerful and likewise many,
    even so they will be cut off and pass away.
Though I have afflicted you,[a]
    I will afflict you[b] no longer.
13 And now, I will break his yoke from upon you;
    I will snap your bonds.”

14 Yahweh has commanded concerning you:

“Your name will no longer be sown.
    I will cut off the idols and images[c] from the temple[d] of your gods;
        I will send you to the grave[e] because you are worthless.”
