12 Thus says the Lord,

“Though they be strong and many,*

they will be cut off and pass away.

Though I have afflicted you,

I will afflict you no more.

13 And now I will break his yoke from off you

and will burst your bonds asunder.”

14 The Lord has given commandment about you:

“No more shall your name be perpetuated;

from the house of your gods I will cut off

the graven image and the molten image.

I will make your grave, for you are vile.”

15 Behold, on the mountains the feet of him

who brings good tidings,

who proclaims peace!

Keep your feasts, O Judah,

fulfil your vows,

for never again shall the wicked come against you,

he is utterly cut off.
