12Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068; Though they be quietH8003, and likewise manyH7227, yet thus shall they be cut downH1494, when he shall pass throughH5674. Though I have afflictedH6031 thee, I will afflictH6031 thee no more.1 2

13For now will I breakH7665 his yokeH4132 from off thee, and will burstH5423 thy bondsH4147 in sunderH5423.

14And YhwhH3068 hath given a commandmentH6680 concerning thee, that no more of thy nameH8034 be sownH2232: out of the houseH1004 of thy godsH430 will I cut offH3772 the graven imageH6459 and the molten imageH4541: I will makeH7760 thy graveH6913; for thou art vileH7043.
