13“Listen to me,” announces the Lord. “Witness against the people of Jacob,” says the Lord God who rules over all.

14“I will punish Israel for their sins.

When I do, I will destroy their altars at Bethel.

The horns that stick out from the upper corners

of their main altar will be cut off.

They will fall to the ground.

15I will tear their winter houses down.

I will also pull down their summer houses.

The houses they have decorated with ivory will be destroyed.

And their princely houses will be torn down,”

announces the Lord.

on the day I punish Israel for its crimes;

the horns of the altar will be cut off

and fall to the ground.

I will demolish the winter house

and the great houses will come to an end.

This is the Lord’s declaration.

all their palaces filled with ivory,”

says the Lord.

And the horns of the altar shall be cut off,

And fall to the ground.

And I will smite the winter house with the summer house;

And the houses of ivory shall perish,

And the great houses shall have an end, saith the Lord.
