⁴ I will destroy your altars for sacrifices and your altars for incense. I will kill the people who worship there and put them in front of their idols.^{[a] 5} The dead bodies of you people of Israel will lie in front of your idols. I will cause soldiers to throw your bones on the ground around the altars.

⁶ In all the places that you live, soldiers will destroy your towns. They will also destroy the places where you worship false gods. They will break down the altars so that they become heaps of stones. They will break your idols into pieces. They will destroy the altars where you burn incense. They will remove all those things that you have made.
