8 You disputed with Israel

by banishing and driving her away.A

He removed her with his severe storm

on the day of the east wind.

9 Therefore Jacob’s iniquityf will be atoned for in this way,

and the result of the removal of his sin will be this:g

when he makes all the altar stones

like crushed bits of chalk,

no Asherah poles or incense altars will remain standing.
